About the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130EM5F
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.

Flow & Coil Options
| Effective area | 8.6 mm² |
|---|---|
| Flow coefficient | Cv 0.51 |
| Response time | ≤ 0.05 s |
| Coil power | AC 3.5 VA · DC24V 2.8 W · DC12V 2.5 W |
| Protection / insulation | IP65 (DIN40050), B-class |
| Voltage options | DC24V, DC12V, AC110V, AC220V |

Where the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130EM5F Is Used
Small-Part Pick-and-Place
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.
Benchtop Test Fixtures
In a lab automation setup, the 4V130E-M5F depressurises the actuator at rest, protecting sensitive load cells and allowing manual jogging between test sequences.
Compact Clamping with Manual Unload
A small double-acting clamp releases completely when the valve centers, letting the fixture open freely for part changeover on a desktop assembly jig.
Is the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130EM5F the Right Valve?
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
- ✓ Required flow (Cv) for cylinder & speed
- ✓ Function: single / double / 5-3 center
- ✓ Coil voltage (DC24 / AC220 …)
- ✓ Port thread (M5 / 1/8 / 1/4 / 3/8 / 1/2)
- ✓ Single valve or manifold base?
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.8 MPa operating pressure.
- check Match coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering.
- check Fit silencers or fittings to the exhaust ports.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130EM5F FAQ
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.
