About the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130E-06-A
The 4V130E-06A is a 5/3-way double solenoid valve from the compact AirTAC 4V100 series, configured with an exhaust center. When both solenoids are de-energized, the spool shifts to the center position, connecting cylinder ports A and B to exhaust while blocking the inlet. This allows a double-acting cylinder to 'float' freely, enabling manual positioning or free movement at mid-stroke without air resistance.
Running on an AC220V coil drawing 3.5 VA, this valve is built for direct control of small-bore double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø16-32 mm range. The 5/3 body provides an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a maximum cycling rate of 3 cycles per second. Its aluminum alloy body weighs 200 g and features a response time of 0.05 seconds or less, ensuring rapid, precise actuation in compact pneumatic systems.

|---|---|
| Flow coefficient | Cv 0.51 |
| Response time | ≤ 0.05 s |
| Coil power | AC 3.5 VA · DC24V 2.8 W · DC12V 2.5 W |

Where the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130E-06-A Is Used
Manual Jig Adjustment
In benchtop assembly fixtures, the exhaust center allows an operator to manually slide a clamp or stop into a new position by hand once the valve is de-energized, speeding up changeovers without needing to disconnect air lines.
Small Part Ejection
Controls a small double-acting cylinder for ejecting lightweight parts from a pick-and-place head. The floating center ensures the ejector rod can be pushed back freely by the next incoming part without creating back-pressure.
Laboratory Sampler Actuation
Drives a miniature double-acting actuator on a fluid sampling valve. The exhaust center is a safety feature, ensuring both cylinder ports are vented to atmosphere when idle, preventing unintended pressure buildup in sensitive analytical equipment.
Is the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130E-06-A the Right Valve?
Choose the 4V130E-06A when your application requires a cylinder to be moved freely by hand or an external force when the valve is at rest. This exhaust center configuration is ideal for safety circuits where trapped air could pose a hazard or for setups needing manual alignment. For applications requiring the cylinder to hold its position under load when stopped, the closed center variant (4V130C) is the correct choice.
When replacing or upgrading, match these five points: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 exhaust center function, the 1/8-inch port size with PT (Rc) tapered thread, the AC220V coil voltage, and the standard terminal box electrical entry. If your cylinder is larger than Ø32 mm or requires faster cycle rates, stepping up to the 4V200 series with its higher Cv of 1.0 will provide the necessary airflow.
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 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130E-06-A FAQ
In the unpowered center position, both cylinder ports (A and B) are connected to the exhaust ports (R and S), while the pressure inlet (P) is blocked. This vents all air from the cylinder, allowing the piston rod to be moved freely by an external force—a state often called 'float'. It's a safety feature that prevents trapped energy.
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), the 4V130E-06A is well-matched to double-acting cylinders with bore sizes from approximately 16 mm to 32 mm. For a Ø32 mm cylinder, expect a smooth, controlled speed. If you need to drive a Ø40 mm or larger cylinder at a high cycle rate, a valve from the 4V200 series with a higher flow coefficient would be a better fit.
