About the AirTAC 4V130C-06BI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, DC24V, grommet entry (4V130C06BI)
The AirTAC 4V130C-06BI is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders, with a closed center position that blocks all ports when both coils are de-energised. In the center state, air is trapped on both sides of the piston, holding the cylinder in place—ideal for mid-stroke stops on small clamps or pick-and-place units. This DC24V variant ships with an integrated grommet (DIN-style) and a 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead, simplifying cable routing into a control panel.
Built on the compact 4V100 aluminium body, the valve weighs 200 g and delivers an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51). Its spool responds in 0.05 s or less, and the DC24V coil draws just 2.8 W, keeping panel heat low. It suits ~O16-32 mm double-acting cylinders and can be banked on a manifold base for multi-station benchtop fixtures.

Where the AirTAC 4V130C-06BI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, DC24V, grommet entry (4V130C06BI) Is Used
Mid-Stroke Clamping
A small pneumatic clamp stops and holds a workpiece at an intermediate position for a secondary drill operation, using the closed center to lock cylinder force without creep.
Benchtop Pick-and-Place
A dual-axis gantry on a lab automation cell pauses the Z-axis cylinder mid-travel to clear an obstacle, then resumes the stroke—all from a compact manifold of 4V100 valves.
Sample Positioning Stage
A microscope stage actuator moves a slide into a pre-aligned stop. The 5/3 closed center holds the stage firmly during imaging, preventing drift from vibration.
Is the AirTAC 4V130C-06BI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, DC24V, grommet entry (4V130C06BI) the Right Valve?
Choose the 4V130C-06BI when your application needs a mid-stroke hold without drifting—the closed center blocks cylinder movement at rest. If your cylinder is larger than ~32 mm bore or you need a faster cycle, step up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) for higher flow. The grommet entry on this model saves you wiring a separate connector; just route the 0.5 m lead to your terminal strip.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: body size (4V100), function (5/3 closed center), port and thread (1/8 in, PT), coil voltage (DC24V), and electrical entry (grommet). If you are building a manifold, confirm the base station pitch; the 4V100 shares a common sub-base pattern with other 4V1xx valves, letting you mix functions on one supply rail.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required flow (Cv) for cylinder & speed
- ✓ Function: single / double / 5-3 center
- ✓ Coil voltage (DC24 / AC220 …)
- ✓ Port thread (M5 / 1/8 / 1/4 / 3/8 / 1/2)
- ✓ Single valve or manifold base?
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.8 MPa operating pressure.
- check Match coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering.
- check Fit silencers or fittings to the exhaust ports.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
AirTAC 4V130C-06BI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, DC24V, grommet entry (4V130C06BI) FAQ
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), this 4V100-body valve suits double-acting cylinders in the ~16-32 mm bore range for typical cycling. If your cylinder is larger or you need a cycle rate above 3 strokes per second, consider moving to the 4V200 series for its higher Cv of 1.0.
Both solenoids are de-energised, so the spool springs to the center position. In closed center (30C), all ports are blocked, trapping air on both sides of the piston. This holds the cylinder in its last position, but note that it is not a safety lock—for suspended loads, add a pilot-operated check valve or mechanical brake.
