About the Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V230E-06-A
The AirTAC 4V230E-06A is a 5/3-way double-solenoid pneumatic directional control valve from the proven 4V200 series. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, and its exhaust-center spool configuration means that when both solenoids are de-energized, both cylinder ports (A and B) are connected to exhaust while the inlet is blocked. This allows the cylinder rod to float freely, making it ideal for applications where the load must be moved manually or settle without air resistance during a mid-cycle stop.
This model is configured with 1/8-inch PT (Rc tapered) ports and an AC220V coil drawing 4.5 VA. Built on the 4V200 aluminum-alloy body, it offers an effective area of 13.6 mm² (Cv 0.8) and a maximum cycling frequency of 3 cycles per second. The spool responds in 0.05 seconds or less, and the IP65-rated enclosure with a standard terminal box entry ensures reliable operation in washdown and dusty environments. It weighs 360 g and suits double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø32–50 mm range.

Flow & Coil Options
| Effective area | 13.6 mm² |
|---|---|
| Flow coefficient | Cv 0.8 |
| Response time | ≤ 0.05 s |
| Coil power | AC 4.5 VA · DC24V 3.0 W · DC12V 2.5 W |
| Protection / insulation | IP65 (DIN40050), B-class |
| Voltage options | DC24V, DC12V, AC110V, AC220V |

Where the Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V230E-06-A Is Used
Manual Load Positioning
The exhaust-center spool vents both sides of the cylinder at rest, allowing operators to manually reposition tooling or workpieces without fighting trapped air pressure.
Sorting & Diverting Gates
Ideal for conveyor diverters where the gate must float freely when stopped, preventing product damage if the gate is accidentally pushed during a jam-clearing procedure.
Clamping with Manual Release
Used in assembly fixtures where a clamp is powered forward but must release completely at center so the finished part can be removed by hand without residual force.
Is the Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V230E-06-A the Right Valve?
Choose this 4V230E-06A when your pneumatic circuit needs a 5/3 center position that dumps air from the cylinder, such as for manual setup adjustments or applications where the actuator must not hold position at rest. If your cylinder bore is smaller (below Ø32 mm), the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) may provide a more economical fit; for larger bores or faster fill rates above Ø50 mm, step up to the 4V300 body (Cv 1.65) to avoid flow restriction.
When replacing an existing valve, match five key points: confirm the 4V200 body size, the 5/3 exhaust-center function (30E), the 1/8-inch PT port thread, the AC220V coil voltage, and the terminal-box electrical entry. This valve can be mounted individually or ganged on a manifold base with other 4V200-series valves to build a compact, centralized air-control station.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required flow (Cv) for cylinder & speed
- ✓ Function: single / double / 5-3 center
- ✓ Coil voltage (DC24 / AC220 …)
- ✓ Port thread (M5 / 1/8 / 1/4 / 3/8 / 1/2)
- ✓ Single valve or manifold base?
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.8 MPa operating pressure.
- check Match coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering.
- check Fit silencers or fittings to the exhaust ports.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V230E-06-A FAQ
In the center position (both solenoids off), the inlet port is blocked and both cylinder ports (A and B) are connected to the exhaust ports. This vents all pressure from the cylinder, allowing the piston rod to move freely—useful when you need a floating or manually adjustable stop point.
With an effective area of 13.6 mm² (Cv 0.8), the 4V200 body is a strong mid-range performer that suits double-acting cylinders roughly in the Ø32–50 mm bore range. For a smaller cylinder (e.g., Ø20 mm), a 4V100 valve may be more responsive; for a larger, faster cylinder, consider the 4V300 series.
