The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06AI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, AC220V, grommet entry (4V130E06AI) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with 130E06AI 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-06AI is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve built on the compact 4V100 aluminum body. Its exhaust-center spool configuration means that when both solenoids are de-energized, the valve returns to the middle position where both cylinder ports (A and B) are connected to exhaust. This allows a connected double-acting cylinder to float freely, making it the right choice for applications where the load must be moved manually or where pressure must not be trapped during an emergency stop. The 1/8-inch PT ports and AC220V flying-lead grommet entry suit direct panel or machine mounting.
This 4V130E-06AI model carries an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a maximum cycling speed of 3 cycles per second, which pairs well with small-bore double-acting cylinders in the Ø16–32 mm range. The AC220V coil draws 3.5 VA inrush, and the valve’s response time stays at or below 0.05 seconds. The pre-wired 0.5 m grommet lead simplifies electrical hookup on DIN-rail layouts, and the IP65-rated enclosure keeps dust and low-pressure washdown out of the coil cavity.

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 exhaust center lets a clamp cylinder float at rest, allowing an operator to manually reposition the workpiece without fighting trapped air pressure.
Paired with a Ø20 mm double-acting cylinder, the 4V130E-06AI vents both ports at neutral, so a vertical Z-axis can be jogged by hand during setup.
In small test stands where a cylinder must return to a relaxed, pressure-free state between cycles, the exhaust-center spool provides a safe default condition.
Choose the 4V130E-06AI when your circuit needs a 5/3 exhaust-center function in a 1/8-inch port size with an AC220V supply. The exhaust center is ideal for clamping applications where the tool must be manually repositioned at rest, or for safety circuits that require stored pneumatic energy to be vented on stop. If your cylinder is larger than Ø32 mm or you need a higher flow rate, consider stepping up to the 4V200 series, which provides a Cv of 1.0 for faster cylinder stroking.
When replacing an existing valve, match five points: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 exhaust-center spool, the 1/8-inch PT port thread, the AC220V coil voltage, and the grommet-style electrical entry. The grommet version includes a 0.5 m flying lead, so if your current installation uses a terminal box, verify that the free wire length reaches your connector block before ordering.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), this 4V100-body valve suits double-acting cylinders roughly Ø16–32 mm. For a Ø40 mm or larger cylinder, the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) will give you noticeably faster stroke times.
In a 5/3 exhaust-center valve, the spool springs to the middle when neither solenoid is energized. Both cylinder ports are connected to the exhaust, so the cylinder rod can be moved freely by hand. This is different from a closed-center valve, which blocks the ports and holds the piston in place.
