The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V21008-X0) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with X0 ports and an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The 4V21008-X0 belongs to AirTAC's 4V200 family and is the 1/4in PT, single-solenoid 5/2 version of that body. It directs compressed air to a double-acting cylinder or actuator: one solenoid coil, one return spring. Energise it and the piston side you choose fills while the opposite side vents through the 1/8in exhaust; de-energise and the spring pushes the spool home, sending the cylinder back to its rest stroke. Because the valve cannot stay mid-position, the machine stops in a predictable state whenever the signal is lost.
Flow capability sits at an effective area of 17.0 mm2, Cv 1.0, with a cycling rate of up to 5 strokes per second and a response time of 0.05 s or less - comfortably matched to roughly O32-50 mm bores, such as an O40 cylinder producing about 63 kgf of push at 0.5 MPa. The aluminium body weighs 220 g, runs on 0.15-0.8 MPa of air filtered by a 40 um element, needs no lubrication, carries an IP65 terminal box and can be ganged onto a manifold base with other 4V200 valves.

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.

A Cv 1.0, 17.0 mm2 flow path cycles an O40 pusher cylinder (about 63 kgf at 0.5 MPa) at up to 5 strokes per second, and the spring return guarantees the pusher clears the lane the instant the PLC signal drops.
Energise to close a double-acting swing clamp; cut power and the spring vents the clamp side, so an E-stop during tool change cannot leave the fixture gripping the part. The IP65 terminal box suits coolant-mist zones.
Sub-0.05 s response times the extend stroke of an O32 feed slide (around 40 kgf push at 0.5 MPa) tightly enough for pin-insertion tacts, while the 220 g body keeps the moving manifold light.
Step down to the 4V100 body (Cv 0.6) when the load is a light O32 bore doing slow work - around 40 kgf of push at 0.5 MPa - and cycle speed is not critical; step up to the 4V300-08 (Cv 1.65) once you move to an O50 bore, roughly 98 kgf of push at 0.5 MPa, or need shorter stroke times than this valve's 5 cycles per second allows. Pick the single-solenoid layout shown here when a lost signal must retract the actuator; the double-solenoid 20 code suits two-pulse, position-keeping circuits, and 5/3 codes (30C/30E/30P) only when a mid-stroke hold, float or both-sides-pressurise is required - at the cost of Cv 0.8 and 3 cycles per second. Single valves can later share a manifold base.
For a like-for-like replacement, match five points: 4V200 body, function digit 10, 1/4in port in PT thread, your supply voltage on the coil (this SKU carries no voltage code, so confirm the coil separately), and terminal-box entry as built here.
Quick checklist
It is rated for double-acting cylinders and actuators in the O32-50 mm class - an O40 bore gives about 63 kgf of push at 0.5 MPa. Key figures: effective area 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0), up to 5 cycles per second, response 0.05 s or below, working pressure 0.15-0.8 MPa with 1.2 MPa proof, and air filtered to 40 um.
The single-solenoid design is spring return: the moment the coil de-energises, the spring shifts the spool and the cylinder vents back to its home stroke within about 0.05 s. That makes it a good choice for clamps and pushers that must clear the part on shutdown, but it is not a load brake - for a suspended load, add pilot-operated check valves at the ports or a mechanical brake.
