About the AirTAC 4V230E-08C Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/4, AC110V, terminal entry (4V230E08C)
The AirTAC 4V230E-08C is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve built on the popular 4V200 mid-body platform, configured with an exhaust center and a 110 V AC coil. When both solenoids are de-energised, the spool moves to center and connects both cylinder ports (A and B) to exhaust, allowing a double-acting cylinder to float freely—ideal for applications where the load must be manually repositioned or where no holding force is desired at mid-stroke.
With an effective area of 13.6 mm² (Cv 0.8) and a maximum cycling speed of 3 cycles per second, this 1/4-inch ported valve suits double-acting cylinders in the Ø32–50 mm range. The AC110V coil draws 4.5 VA, and the complete unit weighs 360 g. Response time is under 0.05 s, and the IP65-rated enclosure with a terminal box keeps wiring secure in washdown areas.

Where the AirTAC 4V230E-08C Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/4, AC110V, terminal entry (4V230E08C) Is Used
Free-Float Conveyor Stops
In a packaging line, the exhaust center lets a stop-gate cylinder float so a pallet can be manually nudged into position without fighting trapped air pressure, then re-energises to retract the gate.
Manual-Load Assembly Jigs
Operators can freely slide a clamping fixture open or closed by hand during part changeover. The valve's center exhaust removes all pneumatic force, making the jig safe and effortless to adjust.
Material Tensile Test Rigs
After a test cycle, the exhaust center instantly depressurises both sides of the actuator, allowing the grips to return to a neutral, zero-force state for quick specimen removal.
Is the AirTAC 4V230E-08C Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/4, AC110V, terminal entry (4V230E08C) the Right Valve?
Choose the 4V230E-08C when your automation sequence needs a center position that dumps air from both sides of the cylinder, enabling a free-floating state for manual setup or compliant clamping. If you need the cylinder to lock in place at center, select the closed-center 4V230C variant instead. For a simple two-position extend/retract cycle without a center stop, a 5/2 valve like the 4V210 or 4V220 is more economical.
This 4V200 body sits between the compact 4V100 (Cv 0.6) and the larger 4V300 (Cv 1.65). Step up to a 4V300 if you are driving a bore above 63 mm or need a faster fill rate. When replacing an existing valve, confirm all five points: 4V200 body size, 5/3 exhaust-center function, 1/4-inch PT ports, AC110V coil voltage, and terminal-box electrical entry.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required flow (Cv) for cylinder & speed
- ✓ Function: single / double / 5-3 center

- ✓ 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 4V230E-08C Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, exhaust center, PT1/4, AC110V, terminal entry (4V230E08C) FAQ
In the center (de-energised) position, both cylinder ports A and B are connected to the exhaust port, while the pressure inlet is blocked. This means the double-acting cylinder has no trapped air—it can be moved freely by an external force, which is useful for manual positioning or fail-safe release.
Yes, the 4.5 VA AC coil is rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation. The terminal box entry accepts standard conduit fittings. Ensure your supply voltage stays within ±10% of 110 V AC for reliable shifting and to avoid coil burnout.
