The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130C-06AI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, AC220V, grommet entry (4V130C06AI) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — closed center solenoid valve with 130C06AI ports and an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The AirTAC 4V130C-06AI is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve with a closed center spool, pre-wired for AC220V operation via an integrated grommet lead-out. When both coils are de-energized, all ports are blocked, locking the connected double-acting cylinder in place to hold a clamped or lifted position mid-stroke. It belongs to the compact 4V100 series, delivering an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) that suits small-bore pneumatic actuators in the Ø16–32 mm range.
This grommet-entry model ships with a 0.5 m flying lead, eliminating the need for a separate terminal box connector and speeding up panel wiring. The valve body is machined from aluminum alloy and the spool responds in 0.05 s or less. With an AC220V coil drawing 3.5 VA, it fits directly into machine-control circuits that run on single-phase mains voltage, and the IP65 enclosure keeps dust and low-pressure water jets out of the coil housing.

Size the valve so effective area / Cv is not the bottleneck for your cylinder bore and speed. Undersized valves slow the actuator. Note 5/3 (center) versions have a smaller effective area than the 5/2 of the same body size.

The closed center blocks all ports at mid-stroke, holding a pneumatic clamp steady on a delicate workpiece during a bonding or laser-marking cycle without consuming air.
Drives a double-acting syringe pump or micro-dispenser in a lab automation setup. The AC220V grommet lead simplifies integration into instruments that already distribute mains voltage internally.
Controls a small stopper or lift cylinder on a fixture where the cylinder must pause at an intermediate position. The 4V100 footprint and pre-wired cable keep the manifold tidy.
Choose the 4V130C-06AI when your circuit needs a 5/3 closed-center function on a 1/8-inch PT port, and you prefer the convenience of a factory-fitted grommet cable for AC220V. The closed center is ideal for short-duration holds where drifting is unacceptable, but remember that a closed-center valve alone is not a safety device—if the load must never move, add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports.
If your cylinder is larger than Ø32 mm or you need a faster cycle rate, step up to the 4V200 body (Cv 1.0) which provides roughly double the flow capacity. For replacement, match all five points: 4V100 body size, 5/3 closed-center function, 1/8-inch PT thread, AC220V coil voltage, and the grommet (I) electrical entry. A terminal-box version of the same valve is available under the code 4V130C-06A if your cabinet layout prefers a hard-wired terminal strip.
Quick checklist
With a Cv of 0.51 and an effective area of 8.6 mm², it is best matched to double-acting cylinders with a bore of approximately Ø16 to Ø32 mm. For larger cylinders or high-speed applications, consider moving to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) to avoid slow actuation.
The spool returns to the center position mechanically, blocking pressure, exhaust, and both cylinder ports. The cylinder stops and holds its last position, minus any normal internal leakage. This is a spool-seal hold, not a safety lock—for suspended loads, always add an external mechanical brake or pilot check valve.
