The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-08E Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC24V, terminal entry (4V21008E) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21008E 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 4V210-08E is a 5/2-way single-solenoid directional control valve built on the popular 4V200 body, directing compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators. Its spring-return mechanism requires a constant AC24V signal to hold the shifted position; de-energising the 5.0 VA coil instantly returns the spool to its home state, making it a predictable choice for basic extend-retract tasks.
With an effective flow area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, this 220 g valve suits pneumatic cylinders in the O32-50 mm bore range. The terminal-box entry simplifies wiring to an AC24V control circuit, while the IP65-rated aluminium body and 40 µm filtered pilot keep it running reliably in general industrial environments.

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.

Drives a double-acting pusher cylinder on a packaging line, extending on signal and spring-returning when the AC24V output drops, giving a clean, repeatable stroke.
Controls a pneumatic clamp on an assembly fixture. The spring return ensures the clamp retracts to a safe position if control power is interrupted.
Directs air to a small double-acting cylinder for a chip guard or door interlock, where the 0.05 s response keeps cycle times short and the AC24V coil fits common machine-control transformers.
Step up to the 4V300 series (Cv 1.65) when you need faster fill on a 63 mm or larger bore, or drop to the 4V100 (Cv 0.6) for compact O15-25 mm cylinders. This single-solenoid 5/2 is the workhorse for circuits where the valve must default to a known position on power loss—if you need the spool to stay put without holding current, look at the double-solenoid 4V220.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: 4V200 body size, 5/2 single-solenoid function, 1/4 in PT port, AC24V coil voltage, and terminal-box electrical entry. The valve also mounts on a 4V200 manifold base if you are building a multi-station bank.
Quick checklist
Its 17.0 mm2 effective area (Cv 1.0) provides a good flow match for double-acting cylinders roughly O32-50 mm. Smaller bores can be driven but may cycle faster than needed; larger bores will move more slowly and a 4V300 valve is often a better fit.
The 5.0 VA AC24V coil energises to shift the spool against the return spring. AC coils draw a higher inrush current for a fraction of a second and then settle to the rated holding VA. The terminal-box entry accepts a standard conduit or cable gland for hard-wiring to the machine's 24 V AC control circuit.
