About the Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V230P-06-A
The AirTAC 4V230P-06A is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve that, when de-energized at its center position, supplies pressure to both cylinder ports simultaneously. This pressure-center configuration is used to hold a double-acting cylinder against a specific force or to balance a load, rather than letting it float or locking it rigidly. With 1/8-inch PT ports and an AC220V coil drawing 4.5 VA, it is a compact terminal-box model for direct integration into standard machine wiring.
Built on the 4V200 aluminum-alloy body, this valve provides a 13.6 mm² effective area (Cv 0.8) and cycles at up to 3 times per second. The spool shifts in 0.05 seconds or less, making it responsive enough for press-and-hold sequences. It suits double-acting cylinders in the ~32–50 mm bore range and can be manifold-mounted for multi-valve assemblies.

|---|---|
| Flow coefficient | Cv 0.8 |
| Response time | ≤ 0.05 s |
| Coil power | AC 4.5 VA · DC24V 3.0 W · DC12V 2.5 W |

Where the Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V230P-06-A Is Used
Balanced Clamping Fixtures
Applies equal pressure to both sides of a cylinder for a controlled clamping force on delicate parts during machining or assembly, preventing part distortion.
Material Pressing Stations
Holds a presser foot against a product on a conveyor with a consistent force at center, then retracts or extends fully for the next cycle.
Resistive Load Positioning
Counters an external force on a cylinder rod, such as a spring-return mechanism, by pressurizing both sides to maintain a mid-stroke equilibrium.
Is the Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V230P-06-A the Right Valve?
Choose the 4V230P-06A when your application needs both sides of the cylinder pressurized at rest—for example, to apply a balanced clamping force or to resist an external load without drifting. If you need the cylinder to lock in place with all ports blocked, use the closed-center 4V230C; if you need it to float freely, use the exhaust-center 4V230E. For a simple 5/2 function with higher flow (Cv 1.0), step to a 4V210 or 4V220.
This 1/8-inch ported valve sits in the middle of the AirTAC range. For smaller cylinders (below ~32 mm bore), the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) is a better fit. For larger bores or faster cycle times, move up to the 4V300 (Cv 1.65). When replacing an existing valve, match all five points: 4V200 body, 5/3 pressure-center function, 1/8-inch PT ports, AC220V coil voltage, and terminal-box electrical entry.
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 4V230P-06-A FAQ
The 5/3 valve body has an effective area of 13.6 mm², which corresponds to a Cv of approximately 0.8. This flow rate is suitable for driving double-acting cylinders with a bore size in the range of 32 to 50 mm at moderate speeds.
In the center (de-energized) position, the spool connects the inlet pressure to both cylinder ports (A and B). This pressurizes both sides of the piston, creating a balanced force. It is not a locked position—the cylinder can still move if an external load exceeds the pneumatic force.
