About the AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08B-W)
The 4V230P08B-W is the 4V200 body built as a 5/3 pressure-center valve: two solenoids shift the spool, and when both are de-energised it holds both cylinder ports A and B under pressure while supply and exhaust stay blocked. That center condition keeps a double-acting cylinder pre-loaded on both sides, which is useful where you want balanced pressure on the actuator between strokes. At center the valve still flows through its 5/3 class effective area of 13.6 mm2 (Cv 0.8), and it switches in 0.05 s or less.
The -W suffix marks the external-pilot version: pilot air enters through a dedicated external pilot port rather than being tapped from the main line inside the valve, so shifting stays dependable when the main supply runs at low pressure or in vacuum circuits. This exact SKU is wired for DC24V with a 3.0 W coil on terminal-box connections and PT (Rc tapered) 1/4 ports, weighs 360 g, and pairs naturally with O32-50 mm double-acting cylinders.

Where the AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08B-W) Is Used
Balanced clamping between cycles
Pressure center keeps both sides of a double-acting clamp cylinder pressurised while the valve sits idle, so the actuator stays evenly loaded between press and release strokes.
Vacuum and low-pressure circuits
The external-pilot -W construction shifts reliably where the main line cannot feed the pilot internally, making it a fit for vacuum handling and low-pressure process stations.
Packaging and assembly actuators
Drives O32-50 mm double-acting pushers and lifters on packaging and assembly lines, with a DC24V 3.0 W coil that suits standard 24 V control panels and PLC outputs.
Is the AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08B-W) the Right Valve?
Pick this valve when the center state you need is both cylinder sides pressurised, and when your main-line pressure is too low or too unstable to drive an internal pilot - the -W external pilot takes its signal from a separate port instead. If you would rather have the cylinder held in position, choose the closed-center 30C; if the cylinder should float freely, the exhaust-center 30E is the right center. For a small bore running slowly, step down to the 4V100 (Cv 0.6); for larger bores or faster cycling, the 4V300 (Cv 1.65) gives more headroom. Bases let you gang several 4V200 valves into one manifold block.
When replacing, match five points exactly: 4V200 body, 5/3 pressure-center function (30P), port plus thread (1/4 PT here), coil voltage (DC24V, 3.0 W), and electrical entry (terminal box) - plus the external-pilot -W option if your piping relies on 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 (4V230P08B-W) FAQ
It controls double-acting cylinders and actuators in the O32-50 mm range, flowing 13.6 mm2 (Cv 0.8) with switching in 0.05 s or less. Because it is a pressure-center (30P) valve, de-energising both solenoids pressurises cylinder ports A and B at the same time while blocking supply and exhaust - the two sides of the cylinder stay under balanced pressure. It is not a safety brake: for suspended or hazardous loads, add a pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical brake at the cylinder.
The -W option feeds pilot air through an external port instead of drawing it from the main supply inside the valve, so the spool still shifts cleanly on low-pressure or vacuum mains where an internally piloted valve could stall. The DC24V coil draws only 3.0 W, connects through a terminal box, and matches standard 24 V control circuits; ports are 1/4 PT (Rc tapered) on the 4V200 body.
