The AirTAC AirTAC 4V330C-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V300 Series (4V330C08A-AM) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — closed center solenoid valve with AM 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 4V330C08A-AM is a 5/3-way closed-center double solenoid valve built on the 4V300 body with a PT-threaded 1/4in port and an AC220V terminal-box coil. This -AM version carries an AMISCO (Italian) solenoid coil fitted at the factory in place of the standard AirTAC coil; the valve body, spool function and flow path are otherwise identical to the base 4V330C-08A. With both solenoids de-energised, the closed center blocks all five ports, so a double-acting cylinder connected to it stops and holds roughly where it was when the signal was removed. Flow capacity sits at an effective area of 21.3 mm2 (Cv 1.25), the class that matches cylinders in the ~O50-80 mm bore range, and the spool switches in 0.05 s or less.
In the 4V300 family this 5/3 body weighs 450 g and cycles up to 3 times per second. The aluminum-alloy valve runs on filtered air (40 um element) at 0.15-0.8 MPa, needs no lubrication, and carries IP65 (DIN40050) protection with class B insulation. Manual override is fitted for commissioning and fault-finding, and the valve bolts onto a base plate so several can be joined into an integrated manifold group.

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.

Closed-center blocking lets a double-acting press or forming cylinder pause at an intermediate position between cycles, with 21.3 mm2 (Cv 1.25) flow feeding bores around O50-80 mm.
With all ports blocked at center, clamp cylinders on jigs and fixtures stay pressurised on both sides while the AC220V coil is de-energised, holding the part during inspection or handling.
On machine tools and transfer units, the two-solenoid memory spool with closed center holds an axis stationary between commanded moves, switching in 0.05 s or less at up to 3 cycles per second.
Size by bore first: if your cylinder is smaller than the ~O50-80 mm range this valve suits, the 4V200 (Cv 1.0) is the more economical step-down; if you move up to larger bores, step up to the 4V400 (Cv 2.82). Choose this 30C closed-center function when the actuator must stop and stay put at mid-stroke; pick the 30E exhaust center if the cylinder should float freely, or the 30P pressure center if both sides should stay live. A single valve on its own threads suits one actuator; a manifold base suits multi-valve stations.
When replacing an existing unit, match all five points: body size (4V300), function (30C), port and thread (1/4in PT), coil voltage (AC220V) and electrical entry (terminal box). For an exact like-for-like swap this -AM variant replaces a standard 4V330C-08A electrically as well - just confirm the AMISCO coil rating with us if your control circuit is sensitive to inrush or holding VA, since our published 4V300 coil data covers the standard AirTAC coil only.
Quick checklist
It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators in the ~O50-80 mm bore range. As a 5/3 closed-center valve it passes an effective area of 21.3 mm2 (Cv 1.25) with a 1/4in PT port, and switches up to 3 cycles per second. AirTAC publishes a flow chart rather than a single L/min figure, so size from the Cv.
This unit is a standard 4V330C-08A fitted at the factory with an AMISCO (Italian) solenoid coil instead of the standard AirTAC coil. The valve body, 5/3 closed-center function, ports and flow are unchanged, and the ordered voltage is still AC220V with a terminal-box entry. Our datasheet does not list the AMISCO coil's own VA rating, so confirm the exact electrical rating with us if your control circuit needs it.
