The AirTAC Airtac 4V Solenoid Valves 4V11006BIG is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 11006BIG ports and an effective area of 10.2 mm² (Cv 0.6). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The AirTAC 4V110-06BIG is a 5/2-way, single-solenoid directional valve that alternates supply and exhaust between the two ports of a double-acting cylinder. Energise the DC24V coil and the spool shifts; remove power and an internal spring pushes it home, so the actuator always retracts to a defined rest position whenever the signal drops. That behavior suits stroke-end actuation, ejectors and any station where a lost signal must mean a predictable return. This exact SKU combines the 1/8in (06) port in G (BSPP parallel) thread, a 2.8 W DC24V coil and a grommet entry with a 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead - handy where there is no room for a terminal box, such as inside a compact manifold cabinet. Flow capacity sits in the 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6) class, right for ~Dia16-32 mm bore double-acting cylinders. Response is 0.05 s or better, cycling up to 5 per second, and the aluminum body weighs only 120 g. Sealing is IP65 (DIN40050), the media must pass a 40 um filter, and no lubrication is required.

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 compact parallel gripper on a small assembly cell responds instantly to the 0.05 s switching time, and because Cv 0.6 suits ~Dia16-32 mm actuators, the jaw cycle stays crisp without oversizing the valve. Spring return opens the grip the moment the 24 V signal is cut.
On a Dia16 mm slide table moving microplates between stations, the grommet's 0.5 m flying lead plugs straight into the controller's driver card - no terminal block, no loose wiring in a crowded instrument enclosure.
A small pusher cylinder on a cartoning machine kicks faulty packs off the belt. At 5 cycles per second the 4V100 keeps pace with high-speed lanes, and the spring-return logic guarantees the pusher clears the product path on every stop or fault.
Step up to the 4V200 body (Cv 1.0) when the bore grows past Dia32 mm or you need harder-hitting cycles - a Dia32 mm cylinder at 0.5 MPa pushes about 41 kgf, and a larger valve keeps its retraction speed honest. Step down within the same 4V100 body by taking the M5 port variant: identical 10.2 mm2 / Cv 0.6 spool behind a smaller port, ideal for micro-piping. Switch to a 3/2 valve only if your actuator is single-acting. Mount one valve per station or click several onto a manifold base to share a single supply and reduce piping. The internal/external pilot choice and a locking or non-locking manual override are set on the base configuration. Ordering a spare? Match five points exactly: body size (4V100), function digit (10 = single solenoid, spring return), port and thread (1/8in, G here - PT or NPT also exist), coil voltage (B = DC24V) and entry (I = grommet, not terminal box).
Quick checklist
Flow: 10.2 mm2 effective area, Cv 0.6, maximum 5 cycles per second. Pressure: 0.15-0.8 MPa operating, 1.2 MPa proof, air filtered by a 40 um element. Electrical: DC24V coil at 2.8 W, IP65 (DIN40050), class B insulation. Response is 0.05 s or less, ambient range -20 to +70 C, and the valve weighs 120 g.
The I option replaces screw terminals with a 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead, so the coil connects directly to a PLC output or driver card - fewer connections, faster panel assembly and no terminal access needed when the valve sits mid-manifold. Keep in mind this is a spring-return valve: the DC24V signal must stay on to hold the valve shifted, and power loss automatically retracts the cylinder.
