The AirTAC AirTAC 4V310-08EI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC24V, grommet entry (4V31008EI) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 31008EI 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 4V310-08EI is a 5/2-way single-solenoid pneumatic valve built on the 4V300 aluminum body platform. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, energising to shift the spool and returning by mechanical spring when the signal is removed. This model comes pre-wired with a 0.5 m flying lead through a DIN-style grommet entry and is fitted with an AC24V coil drawing 5.0 VA.
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), the valve suits ~O50-80 mm bore cylinders in general industrial automation. The sliding-column spool responds in 0.05 s or less, and the IP65-rated enclosure keeps dust and low-pressure water jets out. The 1/4-inch PT ports make it a direct match for many compact manifold or standalone installations where AC24V control power is preferred.

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 pneumatic cylinders in the ~O50-80 mm range on packaging and assembly conveyors. The spring-return action ensures the actuator returns to a safe home position when the AC24V signal is dropped.
Controls air-operated clamps and fixtures on CNC or machining centres. The 0.05 s response and IP65 grommet entry suit environments with coolant mist, where AC24V control circuits are already in use.
Pilots a pneumatic press or stamping head that requires a constant run signal. The 5.0 VA AC24V coil and flying-lead connection simplify wiring into existing machine panels without adding a DC power supply.
Choose the 4V310-08EI when your control system runs on AC24V and you need a spring-return 5/2 valve with a pre-wired grommet lead. The 4V300 body’s Cv 1.65 sits between the smaller 4V200 (Cv 1.0) and the larger 4V400 (Cv 2.82), so it is the right pick for mid-bore double-acting cylinders. If the cylinder bore is below ~40 mm, stepping down to a 4V200 avoids over-sizing; for bores above ~100 mm, a 4V400 gives faster fill.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: body size (4V300), function (single solenoid 5/2), port and thread (1/4-inch PT), coil voltage (AC24V), and electrical entry (grommet). If you later need to hold position on power loss, switch to a double-solenoid 4V320 or a 5/3 closed-center 4V330C. Manifold-base versions are also available when you want to gang multiple valves on a common supply.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), it is well matched to double-acting cylinders in the ~O50-80 mm bore range. It provides sufficient flow for mid-speed cycling without the overshoot that a larger valve body might introduce on a small cylinder.
The 'I' suffix denotes a DIN-style grommet with a 0.5 m flying-lead wire set, not a terminal box. You wire the leads directly into your control circuit. The coil is rated AC24V 5.0 VA, so confirm your transformer can supply the inrush burden.
