The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130C-06F Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, DC12V, terminal entry (4V130C06F) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — closed center solenoid valve with 130C06F 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-06F is a 5/3-way double-solenoid pneumatic directional valve built on the compact 4V100 body. Its closed-center spool configuration blocks all ports (P, A, B, EA, EB) when both coils are de-energized, allowing a double-acting cylinder to hold its position mid-stroke. This makes it a go-to choice for small-bore clamping or lifting fixtures where drift must be minimized during a pause in the cycle.
This DC12V terminal-box model weighs 200 g and delivers a Cv of 0.51 (effective area 8.6 mm²), suiting ~Ø16-32 mm double-acting cylinders. The 2.5 W coil keeps heat low in 12 V mobile or battery-backed systems, while the spool responds in 0.05 s or less. The aluminum-alloy body is rated IP65, operates on 0.15-0.8 MPa filtered air, and requires no lubrication.

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 spool locks air in the cylinder ports, holding a clamp or nest in position during a machining or bonding dwell without continuous air consumption.
Pilots a small double-acting gripper or Z-axis on a benchtop Cartesian robot. The 5/3 center stops the actuator mid-stroke for gentle part hand-off.
Controls a miniature double-acting syringe pump or valve actuator in a 12 V DC instrument. The low 2.5 W coil and IP65 rating suit clean, compact enclosures.
Choose the 4V130C-06F when you need a 5/3 closed-center function on a 1/8-inch PT-ported manifold or sub-base. The closed center holds the actuator at rest, but for suspended loads always add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports—the valve spool alone is not a safety brake. If your cylinder is larger than ~32 mm bore or needs a faster cycle, step up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) for higher flow.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: 4V100 body size, 5/3 closed-center function (30C), 1/8-inch port with PT thread, DC12V coil voltage, and terminal-box electrical entry. The same valve is also offered with DC24V, AC voltages, grommet lead-out, or G/NPT threads—select the exact code to avoid rewiring or adapters.
Quick checklist
With a Cv of 0.51 and 8.6 mm² effective area, it is sized for double-acting cylinders roughly Ø16-32 mm. For a Ø40 mm or larger bore, or if you need a cycle rate above 3 strokes per second, consider moving to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) for faster filling.
The closed center blocks all ports and resists cylinder drift under static conditions, but spool leakage is normal over time. If the application involves a suspended or vertical load, you must add a mechanical brake or a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports—do not rely on the valve alone as a safety holding device.
