About the AirTAC 4V230E-06E Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, AC24V, terminal entry (4V230E06E)
The 4V230E-06E is a 5/3-way double-solenoid pneumatic directional valve built on AirTAC’s proven 4V200 mid-body platform. When both solenoids are de-energised, the spool returns to the centre position where both cylinder ports A and B are exhausted to atmosphere, allowing the actuator rod to float freely—a critical function for manual positioning or safety-interlocked stations where pressure must be fully released at the neutral state.
With an effective area of 13.6 mm² (Cv 0.8) and a maximum cycling rate of 3 cycles per second, this valve suits double-acting cylinders in the O32-50 mm bore range. The AC24V coil draws 5.0 VA and the aluminium-alloy body weighs 360 g. Response time is 0.05 s or less, and the IP65-rated enclosure ensures reliable switching in dusty or washdown environments.

Where the AirTAC 4V230E-06E Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, AC24V, terminal entry (4V230E06E) Is Used
Manual Load Positioning
In assist stations where an operator manually slides a fixture into place, the exhaust-centre function lets the cylinder rod move freely when the valve is de-energised, removing the need to disconnect air lines.
Safety-Interlocked Clamping
When a light curtain or gate switch drops the enable signal, the 4V230E-06E exhausts both cylinder ports, releasing clamping force and allowing the tooling to be safely cleared without residual pressure.
Divert Gate with Free Movement
On a packaging line, a diverter gate driven by this valve can be pushed aside by product back-pressure during a jam, because the neutral position vents both sides of the actuator rather than locking it.
Is the AirTAC 4V230E-06E Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, AC24V, terminal entry (4V230E06E) the Right Valve?
Choose the 4V230E-06E when your application needs a 5/3 centre position that dumps air from both sides of the cylinder—this is the exhaust-centre configuration, distinct from the closed-centre (30C) that holds position or the pressure-centre (30P) that applies force. The 1/8-inch PT ports match compact tubing runs, and the AC24V coil is a common choice for panels with 24 V control transformers.
If your cylinder is smaller than O32 mm, the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) may offer a more compact and economical fit. For bores above 50 mm or faster stroke times, step up to the 4V300 body (Cv 1.65). When replacing an existing valve, match all five points: 4V200 body, 5/3 exhaust-centre function, 1/8-inch PT thread, AC24V coil voltage, and terminal-box electrical entry.
Quick checklist

- ✓ 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 4V230E-06E Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/8, AC24V, terminal entry (4V230E06E) FAQ
With an effective area of 13.6 mm² (Cv 0.8), this 5/3 valve is well matched to double-acting cylinders with bores of approximately 32 to 50 mm. It provides sufficient flow for smooth mid-speed actuation in general industrial tasks; for very high-speed cycles or bores above 63 mm, consider moving to the 4V300 series with its larger Cv of 1.65.
The 4V230E-06E is a double-solenoid valve with a spring-centred spool. When neither solenoid is energised—whether intentionally or during a power failure—the spool moves to the centre position 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 be moved freely by an external force. It is not a holding or braking function; if you need to lock the cylinder in place during a power loss, select the closed-centre model 4V230C and consider adding a pilot-operated check valve for true load holding.
