The AirTAC Airtac 4V300 Solenoid Valve 4V330C-08-B is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — closed center solenoid valve with B ports and an effective area of 21.3 mm² (Cv 1.25). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The AirTAC 4V330C-08B is a 5/3-way double-solenoid pneumatic directional valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators. In its de-energized center position, all ports are blocked, which holds the cylinder in place—ideal for mid-stroke stops where drift must be minimized. This specific model is configured with a DC24V coil drawing just 3.0 W and a standard terminal box electrical entry.
Built on the 4V300 aluminum-alloy body, it delivers an effective area of 21.3 mm² (Cv 1.25) and can cycle at up to 3 times per second. The spool shifts in 0.05 seconds or less, making it responsive enough for most industrial sequencing tasks. With 1/4-inch PT ports, it suits double-acting cylinders in the ~50-80 mm bore range, and its IP65-rated enclosure ensures reliable operation in dusty or wet plant environments.

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 closed-center function holds clamp cylinders firmly in position when the valve is de-energized, preventing workpiece movement during machining or assembly operations.
Use the 4V330C-08B to control stop-gate actuators on conveyor lines. The blocked center holds the gate in place at mid-stroke, allowing precise product spacing without air consumption.
Ideal for press or forming applications where the ram needs to pause at a specific height. The 5/3 closed center holds the cylinder against moderate external forces while the control system dwells.
Choose the 4V330C-08B when your application requires a 5/3 closed-center function with a 1/4-inch port size and 24 V DC power. The closed center is the go-to choice for stopping a cylinder mid-stroke and holding position when the valves are de-energized, though for safety-critical suspended loads you should add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports. If your cylinder bore is below 40 mm, consider stepping down to the 4V200 series for better economy; for bores above 100 mm, the 4V400 series with its larger Cv of 2.82 will give you faster cylinder speeds.
When replacing an existing valve, match five points: the 4V300 body size, the 5/3 closed-center function (30C), the 1/4-inch port size, a DC24V coil, and the terminal-box electrical entry. This model uses PT (Rc) tapered threads—verify your plumbing matches before ordering.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 21.3 mm² (Cv 1.25), this valve is well-matched to double-acting cylinders in the ~50-80 mm bore range for typical industrial speeds. It can drive smaller cylinders very quickly, but for larger bores above 100 mm you will get faster performance by moving up to the 4V400 series.
When both solenoids are de-energized, the spool moves to the center position where pressure, exhaust, and cylinder ports are all blocked. This traps air on both sides of the piston to hold it in place. It resists motion from moderate external forces, but it is not a safety-rated holding device—for suspended or vertical loads, always install a mechanical brake or pilot-operated check valve.
