The AirTAC AirTAC 4V310-08BG Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, G1/4, DC24V, grommet entry (4V31008BG) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 31008BG 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 4V310-08BG is a single-solenoid, 5/2-way pneumatic directional valve built on AirTAC's 4V300 body, configured here with 1/4-inch G (BSPP parallel) ports and a DC24V coil terminated via a grommet-style flying lead. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators—energising the solenoid shifts the spool to extend the cylinder, and de-energising it allows the integrated spring to return the spool and retract the load. This spring-return action makes it a dependable choice for cycles where the valve must default to a known safe position when power is cut.
With an effective flow area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65) and a response time of 0.05 seconds or less, this valve comfortably handles cylinder bores in the ~50–80 mm range. The DC24V coil draws just 3.0 W, keeping control-panel thermal load low, while the IP65-rated enclosure and pre-wired grommet entry simplify installation on machines where a terminal box is less convenient. The aluminum-alloy body weighs 310 g and operates on filtered, non-lubricated 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.

Controls a double-acting clamp cylinder on a machining centre. The spring-return design ensures the clamp releases automatically if power or air is interrupted, protecting the workpiece and tooling from damage.
Actuates a pneumatic gate on a conveyor line to sort packages. The fast 0.05 s response and Cv 1.65 flow rate deliver crisp, repeatable gate movements for high-throughput material handling.
Pilots a double-acting cylinder on a small pneumatic press. The DC24V grommet coil simplifies wiring into the machine's safety circuit, and the IP65 rating stands up to dusty workshop conditions.
Choose the 4V310-08BG when your application needs a single electrical signal to drive a double-acting cylinder, with an automatic spring return to the home position on power loss. The 1/4-inch G-thread ports suit compact manifold or sub-base mounting, and the grommet entry with a flying lead is ideal where space around the coil is tight or where a quick-connect electrical interface is preferred over a terminal box.
For a matching replacement, confirm five points: the 4V300 body size, the 5/2 single-solenoid function, the 1/4-inch port with G (BSPP) thread, a DC24V coil, and the grommet electrical entry. If you are driving a smaller bore (below ~40 mm), stepping down to a 4V200 (Cv 1.0) may improve cycle precision; for larger bores above 80 mm, the 4V400 (Cv 2.82) provides the necessary flow. When the valve must hold its last position without constant power, consider the double-solenoid 4V320 variant instead.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), it is well-matched to double-acting cylinders with bores in the ~50–80 mm range for typical industrial cycle speeds. It can drive smaller or larger cylinders, but speed will vary; for a precise match, calculate the cylinder's air consumption against the valve's Cv.
Yes. The 4V310-08BG is a single-solenoid, spring-return valve. The DC24V coil must remain energised to hold the spool in the actuated position. When power is removed, the mechanical spring automatically returns the spool to its home position, exhausting the cylinder's previously pressurised side.
