The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130C-06EI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, AC24V, grommet entry (4V130C06EI) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — closed center solenoid valve with 130C06EI 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-06EI is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve built on the compact 4V100 body, configured with an AC24V coil and a pre-wired grommet entry for fast DIN-style hookup. When both solenoids are de-energised, the closed-center spool blocks all ports, holding a double-acting cylinder firmly in position at mid-stroke—ideal for small clamps or indexing stops that must not drift during a power interruption.
This model suits ~O16-32 mm cylinders, delivering an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) with a max cycling rate of 3 cycles per second. The AC24V coil draws 4.0 VA, and the sliding-column spool responds in 0.05 s or less. At 200 g, it mounts easily on a manifold base, and the IP65-rated enclosure keeps out dust and low-pressure washdowns.

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.

A small pneumatic clamp pauses at a precise midpoint while a dispense needle applies adhesive. The closed center holds the clamp steady, preventing drift that could ruin the bead placement.
In a lab automation jig, the valve stops a 20 mm cylinder at center to hold a sensor against a sample with constant force. The AC24V grommet lead plugs straight into the control panel.
A tiny parts gate on a benchtop conveyor stops halfway to separate two lanes. The 4V130C-06EI blocks the cylinder ports at center, keeping the gate in position without air consumption.
Choose the 4V130C-06EI when your application needs a 5/3 closed-center function on a 1/8" PT port with a factory-fitted 0.5 m flying lead—the grommet entry saves wiring time on a DIN-rail panel. The closed center blocks air at A, B, and the exhausts, so a cylinder can be paused mid-stroke without creeping; just remember that for true suspended-load safety you still need a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports.
If your cylinder is larger than ~32 mm bore or you need a faster cycle rate, step up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0). When replacing an existing valve, match all five points: 4V100 body size, 5/3 closed-center function, 1/8" port with PT thread, AC24V coil voltage, and the grommet (I) electrical entry—this SKU is the exact drop-in for that combination.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), this 5/3 valve suits double-acting cylinders in the ~16-32 mm bore range for typical cycling. If you need a faster stroke or are running a 40 mm cylinder, consider moving up to the 4V200 series for its higher Cv of 1.0.
When both solenoids are de-energised, the spool moves to its center position and blocks pressure, exhaust, and both cylinder ports. This traps air in the cylinder, holding the piston near its last position. Note that some creep is possible over time due to internal leakage, so do not rely on the valve alone as a safety lock for suspended loads.
