The AirTAC Airtac 4V Solenoid Valves 4V11006BT is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 11006BT 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 4V110-06BT is a single-solenoid 5/2 directional valve from AirTAC's compact 4V100 body, fitted here with 1/8in NPT (tapered) ports, a DC24V coil drawing just 2.8 W, and a screw-terminal entry. It drives double-acting cylinders and actuators by pressurising one chamber while exhausting the other; when the coil de-energises, an internal spring snaps the spool back to the rest position, so the valve needs a constant electrical signal to hold the working stroke. In this 4V100 size class it delivers an effective area of 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6), a match for bores around Dia 16-32 mm. Response time is 0.05 s or better and the valve cycles up to 5 times per second, while the 120 g aluminium body keeps fixture mass low. It works on 0.15-0.8 MPa filtered air (40 um element), needs no lubrication, carries IP65 sealing on the terminal housing, and offers a manual override for jog and setup moves.

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 parallel gripper on a cartesian pick-and-place needs fast reversal on a short stroke; the 0.05 s response and 5 cycle/s limit of this Cv 0.6 valve keep gripper cadence high on Dia 16-25 mm actuator equivalents.
A fixture clamp cycling a Dia 20 mm bore (about 16 kgf push at 0.5 MPa) sits squarely in the 10.2 mm2 flow class, and spring return guarantees the clamp opens whenever the 2.8 W DC24V signal drops.
A compact test bench stroking a Dia 25 mm cylinder thousands of times per shift benefits from the no-lubrication spool design, IP65 terminal housing and the locking manual override for setup verification.
Sizing both ways: one step down is the M5-ported 4V110-M5 variant, which keeps the same Cv 0.6 spool but suits micro manifolds and tight plumbing; one step up is the 4V200 body at Cv 1.0, the right call if a Dia 32 mm bore (about 41 kgf push at 0.5 MPa) cycles fast enough that Cv 0.6 limits speed. Within this valve's band a Dia 20 mm cylinder sees roughly 16 kgf at 0.5 MPa, comfortably inside the 10.2 mm2 flow path. Choose single solenoid only if a fail-to-rest position is wanted; a double-solenoid 4V120 holds its last pulsed state instead. For multi-valve banks, order the single valve here or stack bodies on a common manifold base. Replacement match needs five points checked: 4V100 body, function digit 10, 1/8in NPT port, DC24V coil, and terminal entry. Any mismatch - a G-thread 06BG sibling, for example - will not bolt straight in.
Quick checklist
Effective area 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6) on both positions of the 5/2 spool, maximum frequency 5 cycles per second, response time 0.05 s or less. Working pressure 0.15-0.8 MPa, proof pressure 1.2 MPa, air filtered to 40 um. The DC24V coil draws 2.8 W, insulation is class B, protection IP65, and the valve weighs 120 g. It suits double-acting cylinders of roughly Dia 16-32 mm.
The -06BT code specifies 1/8in NPT tapered ports, so it threads directly into North-American NPT manifolds and cylinder ports without adapters - the 06BG sibling would need a G-to-NPT fitting. Single solenoid with spring return means the spool always reverts to the rest position when the DC24V signal is cut, which suits circuits where the actuator must retreat on power loss; if you need the cylinder to hold its last position after a pulse, step to the double-solenoid 4V120-06BT instead.
