The AirTAC AirTAC 4V310-08AI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC220V, grommet entry (4V31008AI) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 31008AI ports and an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The AirTAC 4V310-08AI is a 5/2-way single-solenoid pneumatic directional valve that controls double-acting cylinders and actuators by directing compressed air to one side while exhausting the other. Its spring-return mechanism requires a continuous AC220V signal to hold the shifted position; when de-energised, the spool snaps back to its home state, making it a predictable choice for applications where the valve must default to a known position on power loss.
This model comes pre-wired with a 0.5-metre flying lead via a DIN-style grommet entry, simplifying installation on machines where a terminal box is inconvenient. The 4.5 VA AC coil delivers a response time of 0.05 seconds or below, and with an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65) it provides ample flow for cylinders in the ~50-80 mm bore range. The aluminium body weighs 310 g and operates on filtered air from 0.15-0.8 MPa.

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.

Directs a double-acting clamp cylinder on a CNC fixture. The spring-return action ensures the clamp releases if AC power is cut, protecting the workpiece and tooling.
Drives a pneumatic gate on a conveyor diverter. The 0.05 s response and Cv 1.65 flow rate give crisp, repeatable gate movements for medium-bore cylinders.
Controls the double-acting feed cylinder on a stamping press. The pre-wired grommet lead and AC220V coil fit neatly into the press control cabinet layout.
Choose the 4V310-08AI when you need a single-solenoid 5/2 valve with a 1/4-inch port and an AC220V supply, especially where a pre-wired grommet lead simplifies field wiring. If your cylinder is smaller (below ~50 mm bore) and you want to save space, the 4V200 series offers a Cv of 1.0; for larger bores above 80 mm, step up to the 4V400 series with its Cv of 2.82. A single-solenoid valve like this one is ideal when the process requires the valve to return to a safe home position if power is interrupted.
When replacing an existing valve, match all five points: the 4V300 body size, the 10 (single 5/2) function, the 1/4-inch port with PT thread, the AC220V coil voltage, and the grommet electrical entry. This valve can be mounted individually or on an integrated manifold base if you are building a multi-valve bank.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), this 5/2 valve suits double-acting cylinders roughly in the 50 to 80 mm bore range. The actual speed depends on the cylinder stroke, load, and supply pressure (0.15-0.8 MPa).
The 'I' suffix denotes a grommet-style entry with a 0.5-metre flying lead, which is pre-wired to the AC220V coil. This makes it faster to connect in the field and eliminates the need to open a terminal box cover, useful for tight or washdown-prone installations.
