The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06CI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, AC110V, grommet entry (4V130E06CI) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — closed center solenoid valve with 130E06CI 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-06CI is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders or rotary actuators, with a specific exhaust-center spool. When both solenoids are de-energised, the spool moves to the middle position, connecting both cylinder ports (A and B) to exhaust. This allows the actuator to float freely, which is essential for applications where a load must be manually repositioned or where no holding force is desired at rest.
This model is configured for AC110V power and features a grommet-style electrical entry with a pre-wired 0.5 m flying lead, simplifying installation on DIN rail layouts. Built on the compact 4V100 body, it provides an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and weighs 200 g. The valve’s response time is 0.05 seconds or less, and the AC110V coil draws 3.5 VA, making it a reliable pilot for small 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 spool dumps all air from the cylinder at idle, allowing an operator to manually slide or reposition a fixture without fighting trapped pressure.
Controls a tiny double-acting clamp that must fully release the part when de-energised. The floating center ensures no residual force remains on the workpiece.
Ideal for laboratory automation where a 16-32 mm bore cylinder needs to be driven and then completely vented, allowing safe, pressure-free sample access.
Choose the 4V130E-06CI when your circuit requires a 5/3 exhaust-center function with an AC110V supply and a grommet lead-out. The exhaust center is the correct choice when the actuator must be free of residual pressure at idle—common in manual load-assist stations or clamping systems that need to release completely. For larger cylinders (above 32 mm bore) or faster cycle rates, step up to the 4V200 series, which offers a Cv of 1.0.
When replacing an existing valve, verify all five configuration points: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 exhaust-center function, the 1/8-inch PT port, the AC110V coil voltage, and the grommet wiring entry. This valve can be mounted individually or on a manifold base, and the grommet lead-out often saves space and wiring time compared to a terminal box in tight control panels.
Quick checklist
When neither solenoid is powered, the valve spool moves to the center, connecting both cylinder ports (A and B) to the exhaust port. This vents all pressure from the cylinder, allowing the piston rod to be moved freely by an external force—a state often called 'float'.
No. The 4V130E-06CI coil is wound specifically for 110V AC (3.5 VA). Applying DC voltage will not operate the valve correctly and may overheat the coil. For DC24V with a grommet entry, select the 4V130E-06BI model instead.
