The AirTAC AirTAC 4V310-08B Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, DC24V, terminal entry (4V31008B) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 31008B 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 4V310-08B is a 5/2-way single-solenoid directional valve built on the AirTAC 4V300 aluminium body. It directs compressed air to one side of a double-acting cylinder while exhausting the other, and a mechanical spring returns the spool to its home position the moment the DC24V signal is removed—so it needs a constant electrical command to stay shifted.
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, this valve suits ~Ø50‑80 mm cylinders in cycling applications. The DC coil draws just 3.0 W, and the terminal-box entry keeps wiring tidy inside a control cabinet. Weight is 310 g, operating pressure 0.15‑0.8 MPa, IP65 protection.

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.

Drives double-acting clamp cylinders on machining centres. The spring-return action releases the workpiece automatically when the DC24V signal drops, adding a predictable safety behaviour.
Shifts pneumatic gates on packaging conveyors. The 28.0 mm² effective area fills a mid-bore cylinder quickly, keeping sortation cycles under 0.05 s response.
Controls the advance-retract stroke of a pneumatic press head. The terminal-box wiring suits control-cabinet mounting, and the 3.0 W coil runs cool even in continuous-duty tooling.
Choose the 4V310-08B when your cylinder bore falls in the Ø50‑80 mm range and you need a spring-return 5/2 function. If the cylinder is smaller (Ø32‑40 mm), stepping down to a 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) often gives crisper response; for larger bores above Ø100 mm the 4V400 (Cv 2.82) provides the extra flow margin. Single-solenoid spring-return is the right call when the valve must default to a safe position on power loss—if you need the spool to stay put without power, look at the double-solenoid 4V320 instead.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: body size (4V300), function (5/2 single), port and thread (1/4″ PT), coil voltage (DC24V), and electrical entry (terminal box). The valve can be used standalone or on an AirTAC 300-series manifold base when you are grouping several stations.
Quick checklist
It is sized for double-acting cylinders roughly Ø50 to 80 mm. The 5/2 flow path gives an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), which provides ample speed for that bore range at 0.15‑0.8 MPa. For a Ø100 mm or larger cylinder, consider the 4V400 series for higher Cv.
No—this is a single-solenoid spring-return model. When the DC24V signal is interrupted the internal spring pushes the spool back to its normal position, exhausting the cylinder port that was pressurised. If your process needs the spool to hold its last state during a power loss, choose the double-solenoid 4V320 variant instead.
