The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06B Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, DC24V, terminal entry (4V130E06B) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with 130E06B 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-06B is a 5/3-way double solenoid valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, with an exhaust center position that vents both cylinder ports to atmosphere when the valve is de-energised. This allows the actuator to float freely, making it ideal for applications where the load needs to be moved manually or by an external force when air is removed.
Belonging to the compact 4V100 series, this model features 1/8" PT ports, a DC24V terminal-entry coil drawing just 2.8 W, and a spool response time of 0.05 s or less. With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a maximum frequency of 3 cycles per second, it suits small-bore cylinders approximately Ø16-32 mm in benchtop and light automation tasks.

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 allows operators to manually move a clamped part or slide into position for tooling changes without fighting residual air pressure, speeding up changeovers on small assembly fixtures.
Controls a Ø20 mm double-acting cylinder on a benchtop pick-and-place unit. The floating center prevents the gripper from drifting under trapped air when the machine pauses between cycles.
Safely drives a small pneumatic actuator in a test rig. The exhaust center ensures the actuator returns to a neutral, unpressurised state when the double solenoid is de-energised, protecting sensitive samples.
Choose the 4V130E-06B when your circuit requires a 5/3 exhaust center function—this vents pressure from the cylinder at rest, preventing trapped energy and allowing the actuator to be back-driven safely during setup or an E-stop. It is a direct fit for 1/8" PT piping and operates on a standard DC24V supply with a terminal box connection.
For larger cylinders or faster cycle rates, consider stepping up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0). When replacing an existing valve, match all five points: 4V100 body size, 5/3 exhaust center function, 1/8" port with PT thread, DC24V coil voltage, and terminal-style electrical entry. A manifold base can be added to gang multiple valves together on a common supply.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), this 4V100-series valve is best matched with double-acting cylinders in the Ø16-32 mm range for typical cycling. For larger bores or high-speed applications, upgrading to a 4V200 valve (Cv 1.0) will provide faster fill and exhaust times.
In the center position, both cylinder ports (A and B) are connected to the exhaust ports, allowing air to escape. This means the actuator is not held in place by air pressure and can be moved freely by hand or external forces—useful for manual setup, but it does not provide any holding force. A separate mechanical brake is required if the load must be locked in position.
