The AirTAC Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V220-08-A is a genuine 5/2-way double solenoid (memory) solenoid valve with A 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.
This AirTAC 4V220-08A is a 5/2-way double-solenoid valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, and its defining feature is the memory spool: it stays in the last pulsed position even if power is cut, with no holding current required. The spool is held by land friction and balanced pressure—there is no spring to shift it back—so it is ideal for sequences where the actuator must remain in place during an E-stop or power cycle.
Built on the 4V200 mid-body platform with a 1/4-inch PT inlet and outlet, it delivers an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0) and suits cylinders in the ~Ø32–50 mm range. The AC220V coil draws 4.5 VA, and the valve responds in 0.05 s or less. The terminal-box entry keeps wiring tidy inside a control cabinet, and the aluminum-alloy body weighs 320 g.

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 memory spool keeps a clamp cylinder extended during a power-off tool change, avoiding part release without needing a constant signal or holding current.
Pulse the solenoid to shift a diverter gate and it stays put until the opposite pulse arrives—ideal for conveyor sortation where the gate position must survive a line stop.
Drives a double-acting pusher cylinder in a semi-automatic assembly station; the AC220V terminal-box wiring fits standard factory control panels directly.
Choose the 4V220-08A when you need a 5/2 valve that holds its last state without consuming power—perfect for clamp circuits or indexing tables where a spring-return valve would drop the load on power loss. If you are driving a smaller cylinder (below Ø25 mm), stepping down to the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) often gives better fine-control; for larger bores or faster cycle rates above Ø63 mm, the 4V300 (Cv 1.65) provides the extra flow.
This valve can be mounted individually or on a manifold base to build a compact valve group. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: body size (4V200), function (double-solenoid 5/2), port and thread (1/4-inch PT), coil voltage (AC220V), and electrical entry (terminal box).
Quick checklist
The 4V220-08A is a double-solenoid memory valve. The spool remains in the position it was last pulsed to, held by friction and balanced pressure, so the cylinder stays where it was. It does not spring back to a home position. For suspended-load safety, always add a pilot-operated check valve or mechanical brake at the cylinder ports.
With an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0), the 4V200 body is a good match for double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø32–50 mm range in general industrial applications. Smaller cylinders may overshoot; larger ones may run slower than expected.
