About the AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08A-AM)
The AirTAC 4V230P08A-AM is a 5/3-way double-solenoid directional valve with a pressure center, built on the 4V200 mid-body and supplied on 1/4" PT (Rc tapered) ports. Two solenoids pulse the spool to extend or retract a double-acting cylinder; at center both cylinder ports A and B stay connected to supply pressure, so the piston experiences balanced pressure on both sides. This build comes wired for AC220V through a terminal box, and the -AM suffix means it is factory-fitted with an Italian AMISCO solenoid coil instead of the standard AirTAC coil - same body, same function, same ports and flow.
In this 5/3 class the 4V200 body delivers an effective area of 13.6 mm2 (Cv 0.8), a maximum cycling frequency of 3 cycles per second and an activating response of 0.05 s or less, at a valve weight of 360 g. It is a sensible flow match for double-acting cylinders in the ~O32-50 mm bore range. Note that the exact electrical rating of the AMISCO coil is not published in the standard datasheet, so please confirm the coil's VA figure with us before ordering. Always request pressure-center holding applications to include an appropriate backup - a valve alone is not a certified load brake.

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 |

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.

Where the AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08A-AM) Is Used
Assembly press stations
Assembly and press-fit stations where the cylinder should stay pressure-balanced on both sides between strokes, keeping the piston steady against light off-center loads without exhausting the supply.
Multi-valve pneumatic fixtures
Multi-station fixtures and jigs driven by double-acting cylinders in the O32-50 mm class, where several 4V230P valves can share one manifold base to cut piping and simplify coil wiring.
Position-hold feed axes
Horizontal push-and-adjust axes where both cylinder chambers stay pressurized at center, helping the rod resist minor load drift while the machine pauses mid-sequence.
Is the AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08A-AM) the Right Valve?
Pick this model when you need both cylinder ports pressured at center - for example to resist light load drift on a horizontally moving axis or to keep a cylinder energetic between strokes. If you need the cylinder to lock still, choose the 30C closed-center version instead; if you want it to float free for manual positioning, the 30E exhaust-center version is the right call. For small bores the 4V100 (Cv 0.6) is enough, while bores beyond ~O50 mm or faster cycles step up to the 4V300 (Cv 1.65). Single valves mount inline; several stations can share an integrated manifold base for tidy piping.
For a drop-in replacement, match all five points: 4V200 body size, function code 30P (pressure center), 1/4" port with PT thread, 220V AC coil, and terminal-box entry - plus the -AM AMISCO coil option if the original valve had it.
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 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08A-AM) FAQ
It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators - never single-acting types, which need a 3/2 valve. With an effective area of 13.6 mm2 (Cv 0.8) and a 3 cycles-per-second ceiling, this 5/3 pressure-center version comfortably serves bores around O32-50 mm.
The -AM option fits an Italian AMISCO solenoid coil in place of the standard AirTAC coil; body, 5/3 pressure-center function, 1/4" PT ports and flow are unchanged. This unit runs on 220V AC with a terminal-box entry. Because AirTAC does not publish the AMISCO coil's VA rating, confirm the exact figure with us at order time.
