The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06E Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, AC24V, terminal entry (4V130E06E) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with 130E06E 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-06E is a 5/3-way pneumatic solenoid valve built on the compact 4V100 body, directing air to double-acting cylinders and actuators with a unique exhaust-center function. When both solenoids are de-energized, the spool moves to the middle position where both cylinder ports (A and B) are connected to exhaust, allowing the actuator rod to float freely. This 1/8-inch PT-ported model operates on a 24 V AC coil drawing 4.0 VA, with an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a response time of 0.05 seconds or less.
Weighing 200 grams, the 4V130E-06E suits small-bore pneumatic systems typically driving cylinders in the Ø16-32 mm range. The aluminum-alloy body requires no lubrication and runs on filtered air from 0.15 to 0.8 MPa. Its IP65-rated terminal box enclosure and B-class insulation make it a reliable choice for benchtop fixtures where a floating center position is needed for manual positioning or safety-release sequences.

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 an operator to manually slide a gripper or fixture open during part changeover without fighting trapped air pressure, improving ergonomics and speed.
Controls a double-acting clamp on a benchtop CNC jig. When de-energized, both ports exhaust, ensuring the clamp fully retracts and the workpiece is free for immediate removal.
Drives a small pneumatic slide in a test apparatus. The floating center position lets technicians manually jog the slide to a safe position during setup or emergency stop procedures.
Choose the 4V130E-06E when your application needs a 5/3 center-exhaust valve that dumps both cylinder ports at rest, preventing pressure lock and allowing free manual movement. This is ideal for clamping circuits where the tool must release completely on a stop signal. If your cylinder is larger than 32 mm bore or you need a higher flow coefficient, step up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) for faster actuation.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 exhaust-center function (30E), 1/8-inch PT thread, AC24V coil voltage, and the standard terminal box electrical entry. If you are building a multi-station manifold, this valve mounts directly onto a 4V100 series base, simplifying plumbing and reducing potential leak points across a bank of valves.
Quick checklist
In the center position, with neither solenoid energized, both the A and B working ports are connected to the exhaust port. This vents all pressure from the cylinder, allowing the piston rod to float freely. It is the opposite of a closed-center valve, which would trap air and lock the cylinder in place.
The 4V130E-06E has a Cv of 0.51, which is typically best matched to double-acting cylinders in the Ø16-32 mm range. While it can physically shift a 40 mm cylinder, the cycle speed will be noticeably slower. For a 40 mm bore application, consider the larger 4V200 series to achieve faster, more responsive motion.
