The AirTAC AirTAC 4V430E-15 Solenoid Valve, 4V400 Series (4V430E15-X0) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with X0 ports and an effective area of 40.0 mm² (Cv 2.35). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The 4V430E15-X0 is the coil-less valve body of the AirTAC 4V430E-15: a 5/3-way, double-solenoid spool valve with an exhaust (float) center, supplied without the solenoid coils or electrical connector so you can fit your own coils at the voltage your machine uses. In the center position both cylinder ports A and B vent to exhaust, letting a double-acting cylinder drift freely for manual repositioning or free-fall applications; either solenoid then shifts the spool to drive the cylinder full-stroke. Pneumatic performance is unchanged from the complete valve: 40.0 mm2 effective area (Cv 2.35), 1/2" PT ports, and a response time of 0.05 s or less.
This is the largest body in the 4V family and the flow class for big work: it suits cylinders of roughly O80-125 mm bore, such as presses, heavy clamping and lifting gear. The complete 4V430E valve weighs 770 g, uses an aluminum-alloy body filtered by a 40 um element, and runs on 0.15-0.8 MPa with IP65-rated electricals once the correct coil is fitted. Order the coils and connectors separately at the voltage you need, or use this body as an exact OEM replacement on an existing manifold.

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.

Swap a damaged or worn exhaust-center valve body on an existing 4V400 installation without replacing coils or base, keeping the 40.0 mm2 / Cv 2.35 flow class intact.
Center-off exhaust porting lets O80-125 mm double-acting cylinders drift freely between strokes on lifting tables and positioners, with both solenoid drives ordered to suit the control voltage.
Large-bore double-acting cylinders on presses and clamp fixtures get full-stroke drives at 3 cycles/sec, with the spool venting both sides whenever the operator needs to hand-position the tooling.
Choose the 4V430E15-X0 when you need a replacement or OEM bare body of the exhaust-center 5/3 type at 1/2" PT porting, or when you prefer to source coils separately for a special voltage. If your cylinder is below about O80 mm bore, step down to the 4V300 (Cv 1.65) instead; if you need more flow than this largest 4V body delivers, move to a larger valve series or a manifold arrangement. Pick the center type to match the duty: closed (30C) to hold the cylinder, exhaust (30E, this model) to let it float, pressure (30P) to keep both sides live.
For an exact like-for-like swap, match all five points: body size 4V400, function 30E (5/3 exhaust center), port and thread (1/2", PT vs G or NPT variants), coil voltage (chosen when you order the separate coil), and electrical entry on that coil. Because -X0 ships without a coil or connector, no voltage or entry type is defined until you fit one.
Quick checklist
-X0 is the bare valve body option: the valve ships WITHOUT the solenoid coils and WITHOUT the electrical connector, though the coil-retaining nut is usually kept. All pneumatic characteristics are identical to the complete 4V430E-15 (5/3 exhaust center, 1/2" PT, 40.0 mm2 / Cv 2.35, 770 g class). You order the coils and connectors separately at whatever voltage your control system uses.
The exhaust (float) center vents both cylinder ports A and B to exhaust, so a double-acting cylinder is unrestrained and can be moved freely by hand or by load. It is not a holding or safety function: if your application must hold a suspended or fall-hazard load, add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports or a dedicated mechanical brake, because the valve alone cannot guarantee that.
