The AirTAC AirTAC 4V410-15 Solenoid Valve, 4V400 Series (4V41015BG-W) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with W ports and an effective area of 48.0 mm² (Cv 2.82). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The 4V41015BG-W is AirTAC's 4V400 flagship 5/2-way single-solenoid valve in the external-pilot (-W) build, fitted with a 1/2in G (BSPP parallel) port and a DC24V coil drawing 3.0W through a terminal box. It directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators: energise the solenoid and the spool shifts to extend the cylinder; cut the signal and the spring returns the spool, sending pressure to the rod side to retract it. Because the pilot air is fed through a separate external pilot port rather than tapped internally from the main line, the spool still shifts cleanly even when main-line pressure is low or the circuit runs under vacuum or reduced supply conditions.
This is the highest-flow 4V body AirTAC makes, with an effective area of 48 mm2 (Cv 2.82) and a maximum cycling rate of 3 cycles per second, so it comfortably drives cylinder bores in the ~O80-125 mm class. Activation time is 0.05 s or better, and the complete valve weighs just 590 g. Like every 4V400 valve it is IP65 protected, runs on 0.15-0.8 MPa of air filtered by a 40 um element, needs no lubrication, and can be banked into an integrated manifold on a common base.

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.

External piloting keeps the spool switching reliably on circuits where main-line pressure is low or under vacuum, such as suction frames and lifters moving sheet stock, panels and cartons on packaging and palletising lines.
With Cv 2.82 behind it, the valve feeds large clamping and light-press cylinders in the ~O80-125 mm range, delivering the flow needed for fast close/open cycles on fixtures, jigs and forming stations.
Diverters, pushers, gates and lifters driven by big double-acting cylinders cycle at up to 3 per second on this body, with the spring-return function guaranteeing the cylinder retracts whenever the 24V signal drops.
Match your cylinder bore first. At Cv 2.82 this valve is sized for large bores around O80-125 mm; if your cylinder is O63 or smaller, the 4V300 (Cv 1.65) will cycle it faster and cheaper, while this body would be oversized. If your application moves even more air than the 4V400 class, you are beyond the 4V range and should move to a larger valve series or a manifold arrangement. Choose this -W external-pilot version when your supply pressure can dip, when the valve sits downstream of a vacuum generator, or when you want pilot supply isolated from main-line fluctuations; on stable full-pressure lines the standard internally-piloted 4V410-15BG does the same job.
Ordering a replacement comes down to five points: body size (4V400), function (single solenoid 5/2 with spring return), port and thread (1/2in, G parallel here - PT and NPT variants exist), coil voltage (DC24V, 3.0W), and electrical entry (terminal box). Match all five and the valve drops straight in.
Quick checklist
It is a 5/2-way valve for double-acting cylinders and actuators, sized around an effective area of 48 mm2 (Cv 2.82), which suits bores of roughly O80-125 mm. The -W suffix means pilot air is supplied through a separate external port instead of being taken from the main supply internally, so switching stays dependable when line pressure is low or the circuit operates under vacuum.
One solenoid shifts the spool while energised; when you cut the DC24V signal (coil draws 3.0W), the internal spring returns the spool and the cylinder retracts. That makes it ideal wherever the valve must fail back to a known position on signal loss. For an equivalent valve that holds its position through a power outage, you would need the double-solenoid 4V420 memory type instead.
