The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-08C Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC110V, terminal entry (4V21008C) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21008C 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 4V210-08C is a single-solenoid, 5/2-way pneumatic directional valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and rotary actuators. It requires a continuous AC110V signal to hold the shifted position; when the coil de-energises, the integrated mechanical spring returns the spool to its home state, exhausting the previously pressurised cylinder port. This spring-return action makes it a predictable choice for applications where the valve must default to a known position on power loss.
Built on the mid-flow 4V200 aluminium-alloy body, this model delivers an effective area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0) and suits cylinders in the ~O32-50 mm bore range. The AC110V coil draws 4.5 VA, and the sliding-column spool achieves a response time of 0.05 s or less. With a 1/4in PT inlet and outlet and a 1/8in PT exhaust, it weighs 220 g and carries an IP65 protection rating with class B insulation.

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.

Controls a double-acting pusher cylinder that diverts cartons on a conveyor. The spring return ensures the pusher retracts safely when the AC110V signal is removed between cycles.
Drives a clamp cylinder on a small-part assembly fixture. The 17.0 mm2 effective area provides crisp actuation for O32-50 mm bore clamps, and the terminal box wiring suits panel builders.
A direct form-fit-function replacement for many 1/4in AC110V 5/2 valves on older machines. The 4.5 VA coil and IP65 body match common machine-builder specs without requiring a DC power supply retrofit.
Choose the 4V210-08C when you need a single-solenoid 5/2 valve with a 110 V AC supply and a spring-return fail-safe that drives the cylinder to its retracted or extended rest position on power loss. If your cylinder is below O32 mm, the smaller 4V100 body (Cv 0.6) may offer a more economical match; for bores above O50 mm or faster cycle rates, step up to the 4V300 series (Cv 1.65).
When replacing an existing valve, match five points: the 4V200 body size, the 5/2 single-solenoid function (spring return), the 1/4in PT port thread, the AC110V coil voltage, and the terminal-box electrical entry. If you are building a multi-valve station, this unit mounts directly onto a 4V200 manifold base for a clean, integrated air circuit.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0), it is well matched to double-acting cylinders in the ~O32-50 mm bore range. It can cycle a 50 mm bore cylinder at a practical speed for most general automation tasks; for larger bores or very high-speed cycling, consider moving up to the 4V300 series.
No. The 4V210-08C is a single-solenoid valve with a mechanical spring return. It requires a constant AC110V signal to hold the shifted position. When power is removed, the spring immediately returns the spool to its home state, exhausting the cylinder port that was pressurised. If you need a valve that holds its last position on power loss, use the double-solenoid 4V220 series instead.
