About the AirTAC 4V310-08F Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, DC12V, terminal entry (4V31008F)
The AirTAC 4V310-08F is a 5/2-way single-solenoid pneumatic directional valve built on the 4V300 body platform. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators, energising the DC12V coil to shift the spool and using a mechanical spring to return it to the default position when the signal is removed. This spring-return action makes it a predictable choice for circuits where the valve must default to a safe state on power loss.
With a 1/4-inch PT port configuration and a 28.0 mm² effective area (Cv 1.65), this model suits double-acting cylinders in the ~O50-80 mm bore range. The DC12V coil draws just 2.5 W of power, and the valve body weighs 310 g. Its spool-and-sleeve design delivers a fast response time of 0.05 seconds or less, and the IP65-rated enclosure ensures reliable operation in washdown and dusty environments.

Flow & Coil Options
| Effective area | 28.0 mm² |
|---|---|
| Flow coefficient | Cv 1.65 |
| Response time | ≤ 0.05 s |
| Coil power | AC 4.5 VA · DC24V 3.0 W · DC12V 2.5 W |

Where the AirTAC 4V310-08F Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, DC12V, terminal entry (4V31008F) Is Used
Packaging & Sorting Lines
Controls mid-bore double-acting pushers and diverters on conveyor systems. The 2.5 W DC12V coil runs cool in continuous-duty cycles, while the 4 c/s max frequency handles rapid sorting gates.
Machine Tool Clamping
Directs a double-acting clamp cylinder on CNC fixtures and drilling jigs. The spring-return function ensures the clamp retracts automatically if the 12V control signal is interrupted, simplifying operator safety.
Assembly & Pick-and-Place
Drives the vertical Z-axis of a pick-and-place unit. The 0.05 s response time gives crisp part placement, and the IP65 body withstands the light oil mist common in automated assembly cells.
Is the AirTAC 4V310-08F Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, DC12V, terminal entry (4V31008F) the Right Valve?
Select the 4V310-08F when your application needs a single-solenoid 5/2 valve with a 1/4-inch port and a DC12V power supply. The 4V300 body’s Cv 1.65 flow capacity is a step up from the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0), making it the right size for driving mid-bore cylinders that require more force and speed than a compact valve can deliver. If your cylinder bore exceeds 80 mm, stepping up to the 4V400 body (Cv 2.82) will provide the necessary flow.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points exactly: the 4V300 body size, the 5/2 single-solenoid function (10), the 1/4-inch PT thread, the DC12V coil voltage, and the terminal-box electrical entry. This valve can be mounted individually or ganged on a manifold base to build a compact, centralized valve terminal for multi-actuator machines.
Quick checklist

- ✓ Port thread (M5 / 1/8 / 1/4 / 3/8 / 1/2)
- ✓ Single valve or manifold base?
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.8 MPa operating pressure.
- check Match coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering.
- check Fit silencers or fittings to the exhaust ports.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
AirTAC 4V310-08F Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, DC12V, terminal entry (4V31008F) FAQ
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), this valve is well-matched to double-acting cylinders in the ~O50 to O80 mm bore range. It provides a good balance of flow and speed for mid-range pneumatic actuators without oversizing the valve.
The 4V310-08F uses a DC12V electrical signal to shift the spool against a spring. When the 12V signal is removed, the spring mechanically pushes the spool back to its home position. This guarantees the valve returns to a known state, typically exhausting the cylinder's previously pressurised side.
