The AirTAC AirTAC 4V310-10BI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT3/8, DC24V, grommet entry (4V31010BI) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 31010BI 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 4V310-10BI is a 5/2-way single-solenoid pneumatic directional valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and rotary actuators. Its spool shifts when the DC24V coil is energised and returns by mechanical spring the instant power is removed, making it a safe default-state choice for clamping or ejecting where the cylinder must retract on power loss. With a 28.0 mm² effective area (Cv 1.65) and a response time ≤ 0.05 s, it is sized for ~O50–80 mm bore cylinders.
This specific configuration ships with a grommet-style electrical entry—a 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead that simplifies DIN-rail wiring and keeps the IP65 protection intact. The 3.0 W DC coil runs cool on 24 V control circuits, and the 3/8 in PT (Rc) ports deliver high flow while the 1/4 in exhausts keep the body compact. The aluminium-alloy body weighs 310 g and needs no lubricated air when filtered to 40 µm.

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.

Directs a double-acting clamp cylinder on a machining centre. Spring return ensures the clamp releases immediately when the 24 V signal drops, preventing part damage during an E-stop.
Shifts a pneumatic gate on a conveyor line. The 3/8 in port provides the flow to move a ~O63 mm cylinder quickly, while the grommet lead keeps wiring tidy inside a crowded control panel.
Controls the advance stroke of a small pneumatic press. The 3.0 W DC coil interfaces directly with a PLC output, and the 0.05 s response gives crisp punch timing for consistent forming.
Choose the 4V310-10BI when your application needs a single 5/2 valve with a DC24V grommet coil on a 3/8 in PT port. Step down to a 4V200 (Cv 1.0) only if you are driving a cylinder smaller than ~O40 mm; move up to a 4V400 (Cv 2.82) for bores above ~O100 mm. A single-solenoid spring-return valve suits circuits where the cylinder must go to a known safe position when the signal is off—unlike a double-solenoid memory valve that stays put.
For a drop-in replacement match five points: body size (4V300), function (5/2 single solenoid), port and thread (3/8 in PT), coil voltage (DC24V), and electrical entry (grommet with flying lead). If you are building a multi-station manifold, order the same function on a base-compatible sub-plate; the 4V310-10BI can be mounted individually or ganged on a common manifold.
Quick checklist
With a Cv of 1.65 and a 28.0 mm² effective area, it is a good match for double-acting cylinders in the ~O50–80 mm bore range. It can cycle a ~O63 mm cylinder at up to 4 cycles per second under typical 0.5–0.6 MPa shop air.
Yes—the 'I' suffix means the valve comes with a 0.5 m flying lead instead of a terminal box. You connect the two DC24V wires directly to your control circuit. Polarity is marked on the lead, and the grommet maintains the IP65 seal when properly fitted.
