The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-08BI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, DC24V, grommet entry (4V21008BI) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21008BI 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 AirTAC 4V210-08BI is a 5/2-way single-solenoid directional control valve built on the popular 4V200 body. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, energising to shift the spool and returning via a mechanical spring when the DC24V signal is removed—this spring-return action makes it a safe default for applications that must exhaust or retract on power loss.
This specific configuration comes with a grommet-style electrical entry (a 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead) and a 3.0 W DC24V coil, simplifying wiring into tight machine envelopes. With an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, it suits ~O32-50 mm bore double-acting cylinders running at up to 5 cycles per second.

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 4V210-08BI’s grommet lead and 220 g body fit neatly onto a manifold base inside small assembly cells, controlling double-acting clamps and pushers with a clean DC24V signal.
Use this spring-return 5/2 to drive a diverter gate cylinder. The valve exhausts the cylinder on power loss, so the gate reliably returns to a safe home position without holding current.
A workhorse for factory automation, the 4V210-08BI cycles ejectors, lifts, and slide units. The 0.05 s response and 5 c/s max frequency keep pace with moderate-speed indexing machines.
Choose the 4V210-08BI when you need a mid-flow 5/2 spring-return valve with a pre-wired DC24V connection. The grommet entry saves panel space and eliminates a separate terminal-box connector, making it ideal for machines where the valve mounts directly on a cylinder or manifold base with limited clearance.
For a smaller cylinder (O20-25 mm), the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) may offer a more compact footprint; for larger bores or faster stroke rates, step up to the 4V300 (Cv 1.65). When replacing an existing valve, match these five points: 4V200 body size, 5/2 single-solenoid function (10), 1/4-inch PT port, DC24V coil, and grommet electrical entry.
Quick checklist
With a Cv of 1.0 and 17.0 mm² effective area, this 4V200-body valve comfortably drives double-acting cylinders in the ~O32-50 mm range. For a specific speed calculation, provide your bore, stroke, and operating pressure to our application team.
The ‘I’ suffix gives you a 0.5 m flying lead exiting through a rubber grommet instead of a terminal box. It saves wiring time on the machine and reduces the overall height profile, which is useful when the valve is mounted in a space-constrained manifold station.
