The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-08EI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC24V, grommet entry (4V21008EI) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21008EI 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 4V210-08EI is a single-solenoid, 5/2-way pneumatic directional valve from the AirTAC 4V200 series, built to control double-acting cylinders and actuators. Its spool is shifted by energising the AC24V coil and returned by a mechanical spring when the signal is removed, making it a reliable choice for circuits that need a defined home position on power loss. This model comes with a grommet-style electrical entry, providing a 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead for direct DIN-style connection.
With an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, this 1/4-inch ported valve suits pneumatic systems driving cylinders in the ~32-50 mm bore range. The aluminium-alloy body weighs 220 g and operates on a 5.0 VA AC24V supply, with a maximum cycling speed of 5 cycles per second. It supports an integrated manifold base and requires no lubrication, running on standard 40 µm filtered air at 0.15-0.8 MPa.

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.

Directs double-acting pusher and diverter cylinders on packaging lines. The spring-return action ensures the cylinder retracts to a safe position if power is interrupted, while the 5 c/s frequency handles rapid case-packing sequences.
Controls clamping and pressing cylinders in automated assembly cells. The 0.05 s response keeps station cycle times short, and the AC24V grommet wiring fits neatly into control panels with low-voltage safety requirements.
Operates gates, diverters, and lift cylinders in material-handling equipment. The Cv 1.0 flow capacity provides balanced speed for mid-bore cylinders, and the IP65-rated aluminium body withstands dusty factory environments.
Choose the 4V210-08EI when your application needs a single-coil, spring-return 5/2 valve with a pre-wired AC24V connection. The grommet entry simplifies installation where a terminal box is inconvenient, and the 0.5 m flying lead connects directly to a DIN socket. If your cylinder is smaller than 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) may improve energy efficiency; for larger bores or faster cycle times above 50 mm, consider moving up to the 4V300 body (Cv 1.65).
When replacing an existing valve, match these five points: body size (4V200), function (single solenoid 5/2), port size and thread (1/4 inch, PT tapered), coil voltage (AC24V), and electrical entry (grommet with lead wire). This valve can be used as a single unit or mounted on a common manifold base for multi-valve assemblies, keeping the same 4V200 flow characteristics.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0), this valve is well-matched to double-acting cylinders with a bore of approximately 32 to 50 mm. It provides a good balance of speed and flow for mid-size pneumatic actuators in general automation tasks.
The 'EI' suffix designates an AC24V coil with a grommet (I-type) electrical entry. Instead of a terminal box, the valve has a 0.5 m flying lead that exits through a strain-relief grommet, ready to wire into a standard DIN 43650 connector or directly into a control enclosure.
