The AirTAC AirTAC 4V230P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V200 Series (4V230P08H-AM) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — pressure center solenoid valve with AM 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 4V230P08H-AM is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve with a pressure center: when neither coil is energised, ports A and B stay connected to supply, so both sides of a double-acting cylinder remain pressurised at rest. Its 1/4-inch PT body flows through an effective area of 13.6 mm2 (Cv 0.8) and suits double-acting cylinders and rotary actuators in the ~O32-50 mm range.
Because the spool travels through three positions, cycling tops out at 3 per second and the unit weighs 360 g. Both coils switch in 0.05 s or less, the aluminum-alloy body carries IP65 (DIN40050) protection, and it runs on 0.15-0.8 MPa of air filtered through a 40 um element - no line lubricator required. This SKU comes with the terminal-box entry and PT tapered threads; the coil voltage is specified when ordering.

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.

On a terminal-crimping fixture built around an O40 double-acting bore (about 63 kgf push at 0.5 MPa), the pressure center keeps both lines live between strokes so the ram settles predictably while the operator loads parts.
Diverting pushers on a carton conveyor benefit from Cv 0.8 flow: an O50 pusher bore (~98 kgf at 0.5 MPa) snaps through short strokes at up to 3 cycles per second without starving the supply header.
A rack-and-pinion rotary actuator indexing a small dial plate stays pressurised on both sides at rest with the 30P center, damping drift during unload - add a pilot-operated check if the dial carries an overhung load.
Pick this 4V200 body when your bore sits between O32 and O50 mm. A 5/3 center valve trades flow for the third position: 13.6 mm2 / Cv 0.8 against 17.0 mm2 / Cv 1.0 on the 5/2 versions, so if an O40 cylinder (roughly 63 kgf push at 0.5 MPa) only needs end-to-end motion, a 4V210-08 will cycle twice as fast at 5 cycles per second. For an O63 bore or a machine chasing faster retract strokes, step up to the 4V300 body with its Cv 1.65; below O32 the 4V100 (Cv 0.6) is the cheaper fit. Among the three 5/3 centers, choose pressure when both cylinder lines should stay live at rest, closed to park the piston, exhaust to let it drift free. Match a replacement on five points: 4V200 body, function 30P, 1/4-inch port with PT thread, coil voltage, and terminal versus grommet entry.
Quick checklist
Flow is Cv 0.8 through a 13.6 mm2 effective area, with a 3 cycle-per-second limit on the 5/3 spool. Response time is 0.05 s or less, working pressure 0.15-0.8 MPa with 1.2 MPa proof pressure, temperature -20 to +70 C, weight 360 g, protection IP65 (DIN40050), insulation class B. The 1/4-inch inlet and outlet share a 1/8-inch exhaust port, and air must be pre-filtered to 40 um.
At center this valve feeds supply to both cylinder ports, so both lines stay live and the piston can settle under load; a closed center (30C) blocks every port instead, holding the piston more rigidly. Neither 5/3 center is a certified brake - for suspended or fall-prone loads, add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports or a dedicated mechanical brake alongside the valve.
