The AirTAC AirTAC 4V310-08E Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC24V, terminal entry (4V31008E) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 31008E 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 4V310-08E is a 5/2-way single-solenoid directional control valve built on the 4V300 body platform. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, pressurizing one side while exhausting the other. This model requires a continuous AC24V electrical signal to hold the shifted position; when de-energized, the integrated mechanical spring returns the spool to its home state, making it a predictable choice for fail-to-home circuits.
With 1/4-inch PT (Rc) ports and a terminal-box electrical entry, the 4V310-08E fits neatly into standard pneumatic panels. Its 28.0 mm² effective area (Cv 1.65) provides ample flow for driving cylinders in the ~O50 to 80 mm bore range. The AC24V coil draws 5.0 VA inrush power, and the aluminum-alloy body keeps total weight to just 310 grams, with a fast response time of 0.05 seconds or less.

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-center fixture, where the spring-return action ensures the clamp releases automatically if AC24V control power is interrupted.
Shifts a gate cylinder on a conveyor line to sort packages. The 4 c/s maximum cycling speed handles moderate-throughput sorting tasks reliably.
Pilots a larger air-pilot-operated valve or drives a medium-bore press cylinder directly, leveraging the 28.0 mm² effective area for crisp, consistent ram motion.
Select the 4V310-08E when you need a spring-return 5/2 function on a 1/4-inch ported base. If your cylinder bore is smaller (O32-40 mm), the 4V200 series with its Cv of 1.0 may offer a more compact, cost-effective fit. For larger bores above O80 mm, step up to the 4V400 body where the Cv jumps to 2.82 for faster cylinder velocities. When replacing an existing valve, match five points: the 4V300 body size, the 10 (single-solenoid) function, the 08 (1/4-inch) port size, the coil voltage (AC24V here), and the terminal-box entry style. This valve can be mounted individually or ganged on a common manifold base for multi-valve assemblies.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), it suits double-acting cylinders approximately in the O50 to O80 mm bore range for general industrial speeds. Exact sizing depends on your required cycle time and operating pressure.
Yes. The 4V310-08E is a single-solenoid, spring-return model. The AC24V coil must remain energized to hold the spool in the actuated position. Removing power immediately returns the spool via the mechanical spring.
