The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06BI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, DC24V, grommet entry (4V130E06BI) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with 130E06BI 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-06BI is a 5/3-way double-solenoid pneumatic directional valve from the compact 4V100 series, configured with an exhaust center spool. When both solenoids are de-energized, the valve shifts to its center position, connecting both cylinder ports to exhaust. This allows a double-acting cylinder to float freely, making it ideal for applications where the load needs to be manually repositioned or where pressure must be completely removed during a machine stop.
This specific model comes pre-wired for convenience with a 0.5 m flying lead via a grommet entry (I), powered by a 2.8 W DC24V coil. With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, it reliably controls small-bore double-acting cylinders in the O16-32 mm range. The IP65-rated aluminum body ensures durability in demanding industrial environments.

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 function depressurizes both sides of the cylinder, allowing an operator to safely push or pull a fixture into a new position without fighting air pressure.
Ideal for small assembly jigs where a clamp must release completely during an emergency stop. The 4V130E-06BI ensures no residual pressure keeps the clamp engaged.
Controls a small double-acting cylinder on a conveyor diverter. The floating center allows the gate to be moved freely by hand for clearing jams or maintenance.
Select the 4V130E-06BI for compact pneumatic circuits where a floating center position is required for safety or manual adjustment. The exhaust center function is distinct from the closed center (30C), which locks the cylinder, and the pressure center (30P), which applies force. This 4V100 body size is optimal for small actuators; if your cylinder is larger than 32 mm bore or requires a higher cycle rate, consider stepping up to the 4V200 series, which offers a higher Cv of 1.0.
When replacing an existing valve, ensure a precise 5-point match: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 exhaust center function (30E), the 1/8 inch port size with PT thread, a DC24V coil voltage, and the grommet-style electrical entry. This valve can be mounted individually or integrated into a manifold base for a clean, multi-valve assembly.
Quick checklist
In the center position, both the cylinder's A and B ports are connected to the exhaust port, venting all pressure. This lets the connected double-acting cylinder rod be moved freely by external forces, which is useful for manual setup or ensuring a mechanism is completely de-energized at rest.
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), the 4V130E-06BI is best matched to small double-acting cylinders with bores in the O16 to 32 mm range. For larger cylinders or applications needing a faster cycle rate, a 4V200 series valve with a higher flow capacity would be a better fit.
