The AirTAC AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08-X0) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — pressure center solenoid valve with X0 ports and an effective area of 13.6 mm² (Cv 0.8). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The AirTAC 4V230P08-X0 is the coil-less valve body of the 4V230P-08: a 5/3-way, double-solenoid valve with a pressure center, supplied without any solenoid coil or electrical connector (the coil-retaining nut is kept). Pulsing one solenoid shifts the spool one way, pulsing the other shifts it back, and with both de-energised the spool centers with cylinder ports A and B both connected to pressure, so a double-acting cylinder sees pressure on both sides at rest.
This pressure-center body flows through a 13.6 mm2 effective area (Cv 0.8) on 1/4-inch PT (Rc tapered) ports and responds in 0.05 s or less, matching the mid-size 4V200 class that suits cylinders of roughly O32-50 mm bore. Because no coil is fitted, you order the solenoid separately in the voltage your panel needs, making this body the natural pick for spool-in-housing replacements and OEM builds.

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.

Pressure-center action keeps both sides of a double-acting cylinder pressurised at center, useful where two forces must balance while the valve sits idle.
Machine builders buy the bare 4V230P08-X0 body and fit their own coils in the voltage the control panel runs, from a single stocking part.
Drop this 1/4-inch PT pressure-center body onto a 4V200 base to restore one station of an integrated valve group without replacing the whole manifold.
Check the flow class before ordering: the 5/3 pressure-center body carries 13.6 mm2 / Cv 0.8, while the 5/2 versions of this same 4V200 body reach 17.0 mm2 / Cv 1.0. If your cylinder is small and slow, the 4V100 (Cv 0.6) is cheaper; if you need a bigger bore or a faster cycle, step up to the 4V300 (Cv 1.65). Choose 30P when both cylinder sides should stay pressurised at center, 30C when they must be blocked, or 30E when they should vent; pick function 20 for a plain 5/2 memory valve or 10 for spring return. Single valves screw straight in; a manifold base lets a bank share one supply.
Match five points against the part you are replacing: the 4V200 body, the 30P function, the 1/4-inch port with PT thread, and - because this -X0 variant ships bare - the coil voltage and electrical entry you will order separately.
Quick checklist
It means you receive the bare valve body only: no solenoid coil and no electrical connector are fitted, though the coil-retaining nut is kept. All pneumatic data is unchanged - 5/3 pressure-center function, 1/4-inch PT ports, 13.6 mm2 effective area (Cv 0.8). Order the coil separately in the voltage your system uses.
It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators in the O32-50 mm range, with Cv 0.8 flow and spool response of 0.05 s or less. With both solenoids off, cylinder ports A and B stay connected to supply pressure. For guaranteed holding of a suspended or heavy load, add a pilot-operated check valve or mechanical brake at the cylinder - the valve alone is not a certified safety device.
