The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06 Solenoid Valve, 4V100 Series (4V130E06E-W) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with W 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 4V130E06E-W is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve in the compact 4V100 body, built with an exhaust center. When both solenoids are de-energised, cylinder ports A and B vent to atmosphere, so a double-acting cylinder in the mid position floats free and can be moved or aligned by hand - useful where an actuator must not fight the valve between strokes. Flow capacity sits at 8.6 mm2 effective area (Cv 0.51) with a 3 cycle-per-second maximum frequency, and switching response is 0.05 s or better.
This exact SKU combines a PT 1/8-inch port, an AC24V coil drawing 4.0 VA wired through the terminal box, and the factory -W external-pilot option: pilot air is fed through a separate external port rather than tapped from the main supply, so spool switching stays dependable even when line pressure drops low or runs in vacuum circuits. The aluminium body weighs 200 g, carries an IP65 (DIN40050) rating, needs no lubrication, and mounts singly or on an integrated manifold base.

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 external -W pilot switches the spool from a dedicated port, keeping 5/3 exhaust-center operation dependable where mains pressure is too low or unstable to feed an internal pilot.
In the center position both ports exhaust, so a small gripper or slide can be nudged into position by hand during setup without back-pressure from the valve.
Cv 0.51 flow suits double-acting cylinders in the ~16-32 mm bore range on compact clamping and indexing fixtures, with response at or below 0.05 s for brisk cycling.
Choose this valve when you want a floating (exhaust) center so operators or downstream tooling can reposition the cylinder mid-stroke; pick the closed-center 30C instead if the cylinder must hold position, or the pressure-center 30P if both sides should stay charged. The -W external pilot is the right call for low-pressure mains, vacuum conveying, or any circuit where internal pilot supply could fall below a reliable switching level. Step up to the 4V200 (Cv 1.0) if your bore exceeds roughly 32 mm or cycle speed demands more flow.
For a drop-in replacement, match all five points: body size (4V100), function (30E exhaust center, external pilot), port and thread (1/8-inch PT), coil voltage (AC24V), and electrical entry (terminal box).
Quick checklist
It directs air to double-acting cylinders and actuators in roughly the 16-32 mm bore class. The 5/3 exhaust-center spool offers 8.6 mm2 effective area (Cv 0.51) and up to 3 cycles per second, so it is best for small clamps, grippers and benchtop automation rather than large bores.
The -W build feeds pilot air from a separate external port instead of taking it from the main supply inside the valve. That keeps switching reliable on low-pressure or vacuum lines where an internally piloted valve might fail to shift. Note that the exhaust center lets the cylinder float when de-energised - it is not a load-holding device; add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports if guaranteed holding is required.
