The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130E-06FI Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, DC12V, grommet entry (4V130E06FI) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with 130E06FI 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-06FI is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, with an exhaust center position that dumps both cylinder ports to atmosphere when the valve is de-energized. This allows the cylinder rod to float freely, making it ideal for applications where you need to manually position a load or where the actuator must not hold pressure at rest. It is built on the compact 4V100 aluminum body and comes pre-wired with a 0.5 m flying lead via a grommet entry, powered by a 2.5 W DC12V coil.
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a maximum cycling rate of 3 cycles per second, this valve suits ~Ø16-32 mm cylinders in light automation tasks. The sliding-spool design delivers a response time of 0.05 s or less, and the IP65-rated enclosure ensures reliable operation in dusty or wet conditions. The 4V130E-06FI weighs 200 g and can be mounted individually or on a shared 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.

In a benchtop assembly fixture, the exhaust center lets an operator freely slide a small Ø20 mm cylinder by hand when the valve is off, speeding up part changeovers without needing to disconnect air lines.
A 5/3 exhaust-center valve controls a miniature gripper on a pick-and-place head. When de-energized, both gripper jaws release completely, preventing a clamped part from being held by residual pressure during an E-stop.
Drives a double-acting Ø16 mm cylinder on a test fixture. The DC12V grommet wiring and IP65 body suit a lab environment, while the exhaust center ensures the cylinder returns to a neutral, unpressurized state between test cycles.
Choose the 4V130E-06FI when your circuit needs a 5/3 exhaust center function on a 1/8-inch PT port with a 12 V DC supply and a pre-wired grommet connection. The exhaust center is the right call when the cylinder must be depressurized at idle—common in manual load-assist stations or clamping circuits where residual pressure could cause drift. If your cylinder is larger than Ø32 mm or you need a faster cycle rate, step up to the 4V200 series, which provides a higher Cv of 1.0.
For a drop-in replacement, match all five points: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 exhaust-center function, the 1/8-inch PT port, a DC12V coil, and the grommet-style electrical entry. If you are building a multi-valve bank, this valve is compatible with the 4V100 manifold base system, which simplifies plumbing and reduces assembly time.
Quick checklist
With a Cv of 0.51 and an effective area of 8.6 mm², this 4V100-body valve is best paired with double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø16-32 mm range. For larger cylinders or faster stroke times, consider moving up to the 4V200 series, which offers a Cv of 1.0.
When both solenoids are de-energized, the valve spool moves to its center position, connecting both cylinder ports (A and B) to the exhaust port. This vents all pressure from the cylinder, allowing the piston rod to float freely. It is not a load-holding position—if you need to lock the cylinder in place during a power loss, use a 5/3 closed-center valve (4V130C) or an external pilot-operated check valve.
