The AirTAC AirTAC 4V320-08E Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC24V, terminal entry (4V32008E) is a genuine 5/2-way double solenoid (memory) solenoid valve with 32008E 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 4V320-08E is a 5/2-way double-solenoid pneumatic valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and rotary actuators. Its memory function means the spool stays locked in the last pulsed position when power is removed—no spring, no holding current—making it ideal for applications where the actuator must remain stationary during an E-stop or power cycle without an immediate return stroke.
Built on the 4V300 aluminum-alloy body, this valve delivers an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65) and suits ~Ø50-80 mm cylinders. The AC24V coil draws 5.0 VA, and the valve responds in 0.05 s or less. With 1/4-inch PT ports, IP65 protection, and a 400 g weight, it is a reliable choice for compact manifold or stand-alone installations.

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.

In powered conveyor systems, the 4V320-08E memory function holds a stop gate or diverter arm in its raised or lowered state during a line stoppage, preventing product drift without continuous coil energization.
For CNC workholding and welding fixtures, this valve keeps a clamp engaged on the part after the actuation signal is removed. The double-solenoid memory ensures the part stays secured through a power interruption until a deliberate release signal is sent.
Laboratory pneumatic test rigs use the 4V320-08E to sequence multi-step pressure cycles. The memory spool holds intermediate positions between steps, allowing complex test profiles without a PLC continuously energizing every valve station.
Choose the 4V320-08E when your double-acting cylinder needs to hold its working position even if the electrical signal is interrupted—the double-solenoid memory design does exactly that without consuming power in the hold state. If your cylinder is smaller than Ø50 mm, stepping down to a 4V200-series valve (Cv 1.0) often yields a better size-to-flow match; for bores above Ø80 mm, the 4V400 (Cv 2.82) provides the extra flow capacity.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: the 4V300 body size, the 5/2 double-solenoid function, the 1/4-inch PT port and thread, the AC24V coil voltage, and the terminal-box electrical entry. If you prefer a pre-wired flying lead, the grommet variant (suffix I) eliminates the need to open a terminal box.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 28.0 mm² (Cv 1.65), this 4V300-series valve suits double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø50-80 mm range. It can cycle a Ø63 mm bore at its rated 4 cycles-per-second maximum frequency under normal operating pressure.
The double-solenoid memory holds the spool in its last position, but the valve alone is not a safety-rated load-holding device. For vertical or suspended loads where a fall would create a hazard, always add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports or a mechanical brake—the valve's memory is a control convenience, not a safety brake.
