The AirTAC AirTAC 4V320-08EI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC24V, grommet entry (4V32008EI) is a genuine 5/2-way double solenoid (memory) solenoid valve with 32008EI 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 4V320-08EI is a double-solenoid 5/2-way pneumatic directional control valve built on the AirTAC 4V300 aluminium body platform. It directs compressed air to both sides of a double-acting cylinder or rotary actuator, and its memory spool holds the last pulsed position without needing a constant electrical signal—the spool stays put through land friction and balanced pressure, so the cylinder remains in place even if power is interrupted.
This specific configuration ships with an AC24V coil drawing 5.0 VA, a DIN-style grommet entry with a 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead, and 1/4-inch PT (Rc tapered) ports on all ways. With an effective area of 28.0 mm2 (Cv 1.65) and a response time of 0.05 s or below, it suits double-acting cylinders in the ~O50-80 mm bore range running on filtered, non-lubricated air at 0.15-0.8 MPa.

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.

A pulsed signal shifts the 4V320-08EI to extend a gate cylinder, and the memory spool holds it open or closed without continuous power, saving energy in material-routing systems.
In CNC or welding jigs, the valve holds a double-acting clamp cylinder in its last position after a brief pulse, keeping the part secure while the machine runs the next cycle.
Drive a rack-and-pinion rotary actuator between two stops with short electrical pulses; the 4V320-08EI maintains the angle until the opposite coil is pulsed, ideal for diverters or turntables.
Choose the 4V320-08EI when your circuit needs a 5/2 valve that stays in its last commanded state after a pulse, eliminating the heat and energy of a continuously energised coil. The 4V300 body sits between the compact 4V200 (Cv 1.0) and the larger 4V400 (Cv 2.82); step down to the 4V200 for O32-40 mm cylinders, or move up to the 4V400 for bores above 100 mm. For a five-point replacement match, verify body size (4V300), function (20 = double solenoid 5/2), port size and thread (1/4-inch PT), coil voltage (AC24V), and electrical entry (grommet with flying lead). If you are building a multi-station manifold, confirm the base shares the same port size and thread.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 28.0 mm2 (Cv 1.65), this 4V300-series valve typically suits double-acting cylinders in the ~O50-80 mm bore range. For smaller O32-40 mm cylinders a 4V200 (Cv 1.0) is often a better match, while bores above 100 mm usually benefit from the higher flow of a 4V400 (Cv 2.82).
The double-solenoid spool holds its last shifted position through land friction and balanced pressure when power is removed, but it is not a safety-rated load-holding device. If the application involves a suspended or vertical load, add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports or a mechanical brake to guarantee safe holding in the event of a pressure drop.
