The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06 Solenoid Valve, 4V100 Series (4V130E06A-W) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with W 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 4V130E-06A-W is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve in the compact 4V100 body, built with the factory external-pilot option (-W): pilot air is fed through a separate external port instead of being tapped internally from the main line. That means the spool still shifts cleanly even when main-line pressure is low or the circuit runs in vacuum and low-pressure service. At center position, the exhaust-center (E) function vents both cylinder ports, so a double-acting cylinder floats free and can be moved by hand or by an external force - useful when a stroke must be repositionable while the valve sits idle. Fitted with a 1/8 PT tapered port and a hard-wired terminal entry on the AC220V coil (3.5 VA).
Sized for the small-flow end of the range, this valve offers an effective area of 8.6 mm2 (Cv 0.51) and switches in 0.05 s or less, which suits double-acting cylinders of roughly O16-32 mm bore. The 4V130E body weighs 200 g, the aluminum alloy construction needs no lubrication, and the spool is protected by 40 um filtration with an IP65-rated electrical enclosure. Manual override is built in, and the valve mounts on a base for an integrated manifold group when your panel needs several stations.

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 horizontal slide that operators reposition by hand during changeover benefits from the exhaust center: at rest both ports vent, so the double-acting actuator floats instead of locking against the operator.
With the -W external pilot, the pilot stage is fed from an independent air line, so the valve keeps shifting reliably even when the main line runs at low pressure or under vacuum where an internally piloted spool would stall.
Compact clamping and press-fit fixtures on O16-32 mm double-acting cylinders run well on the Cv 0.51 flow class, and the AC220V terminal-box coil wires straight into standard 220 V control panels.
Choose this exhaust-center version when the actuator should drift or be hand-positionable at rest - pick the 30C closed center instead if you need the cylinder to hold its position at mid-state, or the 30P pressure center for equal pressurisation. If your cylinder is above ~32 mm bore or cycle times feel sluggish, move up to the 4V200 body with Cv 1.0; remember the 5/3 class in 4V100 is capped at 3 cycles per second versus 5 for the 5/2. For single-station panels use the valve standalone; for multiple valves side by side, order bases and build a manifold group.
When replacing or quoting, match all five points exactly: 4V100 body size, 30E exhaust-center function, 1/8 port with PT thread, AC220V coil, and terminal-box electrical entry - plus the external-pilot -W option if your circuit feeds pilot air separately.
Quick checklist
Both solenoids off, the spool centers with ports A and B open to exhaust. A double-acting cylinder connected to them is unpressurised on both sides, so it floats free and can be shifted by hand or by the load. This differs from a closed center (ports blocked, cylinder holds) and a pressure center (both ports fed). Note that floating is not load holding - for suspended loads, add a pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical brake.
The -W option converts the valve to external pilot supply: pilot air enters through a dedicated port rather than being taken internally from the main inlet. Use it when main-line pressure is too low to pilot an internally piloted valve, or in vacuum service. As a replacement, the 4V130E-06A-W is interchangeable with a standard 4V130E-06A only if your panel either supplies an external pilot line or accepts internal piloting - match body, function, 1/8 PT port, AC220V coil and terminal entry when comparing.
