The AirTAC AirTAC 4V320-08B Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, DC24V, terminal entry (4V32008B) is a genuine 5/2-way double solenoid (memory) solenoid valve with 32008B 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 4V320-08B is a 5/2-way double-solenoid directional control valve built on the 4V300 body platform. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators using a memory-spool design: a momentary pulse to coil 14 shifts the spool, and it remains in that last-commanded position even after power is removed, held by land friction and balanced pressure. This 1/4-inch PT-ported, DC24V terminal-box version is ideal for applications where the valve state must survive a control-power cycle.
The 4V320-08B delivers a 28.0 mm² effective area (Cv 1.65) and can cycle at up to 4 times per second, suiting it to ~Ø50-80 mm bore cylinders. Its DC24V coil draws just 3.0 W, and the aluminum-alloy body houses a spool that responds in 0.05 seconds or less. IP65-rated and manifold-ready, it provides a compact, energy-efficient pilot for larger pneumatic workholding and positioning tasks.

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.

The memory spool holds a pneumatic clamp in its last state—open or closed—even if the machine E-stops, preventing unintended release of the workpiece during a power interruption.
Operates diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines. A pulse from the PLC sets the gate direction; the valve stays put until the next deliberate command, simplifying the control sequence.
Drives mid-bore press cylinders where a constant signal is impractical. The 4 c/s cycle rate and 3.0 W DC coil suit repetitive forming and stamping sequences with short dwell times.
Choose the 4V320-08B when your double-acting cylinder needs a 5/2 valve that holds its last position on power loss without a constant signal. If your bore is under ~Ø40 mm, the smaller 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) may be a better match; for bores above ~Ø80 mm, step up to the 4V400 (Cv 2.82) for faster fill. This double-solenoid memory function is ideal when you cannot maintain a continuous electrical signal, but it is not a safety holding device—add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports if the load must be locked in place.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: body size (4V300), function (double solenoid 5/2), port and thread (1/4-inch PT), coil voltage (DC24V), and electrical entry (terminal box). The 4V320-08B also mounts on a common sub-base, so you can build a multi-valve manifold without re-plumbing individual stations.
Quick checklist
Its 28.0 mm² effective area (Cv 1.65) provides sufficient flow for double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø50-80 mm range. For smaller bores it will work but may be oversized; for larger bores a 4V400 valve (Cv 2.82) will give better speed.
The spool holds its last shifted position, but this is not a guaranteed load-holding mechanism. If a vertical or suspended load must not drift, you need a pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical brake at the cylinder—the valve alone is a directional control, not a safety lock.
