The AirTAC Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130EM5F is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with 130EM5F 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 4V130E-M5F is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve on the compact 4V100 body, configured with an exhaust center and M5 threaded ports. When both coils are de-energised, the spool moves to the center position where cylinder ports A and B are connected to exhaust, allowing a double-acting actuator to float freely—ideal for applications where the load must be manually repositioned or where pressure must be fully released at rest.
This DC12V terminal-box model draws just 2.5 W and weighs 200 g, making it a lightweight solution for benchtop automation. With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a response time at or below 0.05 s, it suits ~O16-32 mm bore cylinders. The aluminum-alloy body carries an IP65 protection rating and requires no lubrication.

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 lets a gripper cylinder go limp at the end of cycle, so an operator can safely remove parts without fighting residual air pressure.
In a lab automation setup, the 4V130E-M5F depressurises the actuator at rest, protecting sensitive load cells and allowing manual jogging between test sequences.
A small double-acting clamp releases completely when the valve centers, letting the fixture open freely for part changeover on a desktop assembly jig.
Choose the 4V130E-M5F when your small automation cell needs a 5/3 exhaust center function on an M5 manifold or direct-mounted base. The exhaust center is the right pick when the cylinder must be free of residual pressure at idle—common in manual load/unload stations or clamping circuits where a spring-return cylinder is not suitable. If your cylinder is larger than ~32 mm bore or you need a higher flow capacity, step up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0).
For replacement, match all five points: body size 4V100, function 5/3 exhaust center, M5 port, DC12V coil voltage, and terminal-box electrical entry. The 4V100 family can be banked on a common manifold, so confirm the base style matches your existing assembly.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), this 5/3 valve suits double-acting cylinders roughly in the O16-32 mm bore range. For larger cylinders or faster cycle rates, consider the 4V200 series which offers a Cv of 1.0.
This is a double-solenoid valve with an exhaust center. When both solenoids are off, the spool springs to the center position where both cylinder ports are vented to atmosphere. The actuator is not held in place—it can be moved freely by an external force. If you need the cylinder to hold position on power loss, choose the closed-center 4V130C variant instead.
