The AirTAC Airtac 4V Solenoid Valves 4V11006ET is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 11006ET 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 4V110-06ET is a 5/2-way single-solenoid spool valve with spring return: energising the AC24V coil ports air to one side of a double-acting cylinder, and cutting the signal lets the internal spring snap the spool back to its rest position. That means the actuator always returns home whenever the control signal is lost, so the valve needs a held signal for every extended stroke. Its 1/8 in ports are cut as NPT taper (code T), the thread style standard on North American machine plumbing, and it flows an effective area of 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6) - the 4V100 class that suits cylinders of roughly Dia16-32 mm bore. This exact SKU pairs the AC24V coil (4.0 VA) with a terminal-box entry, so field wiring lands on screw terminals fed from a 24 V control transformer - the legacy panel voltage common on US-built equipment. Switching takes 0.05 s or less, the body is aluminium alloy at just 120 g, the terminal cover is rated IP65 (DIN40050), and lubrication is not required provided upstream air passes a 40 um filter element.

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 Dia25 clamp cylinder develops roughly 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, and the Cv 0.6 orifice cycles it up to 5 times per second - enough for fast clamp-test-release loops on benchtop leak and pressure-decay rigs.
NPT1/8 threads screw straight into North American manifold blocks, and the AC24V coil (4.0 VA) bolts onto the existing 24 V control-transformer circuit, so refurbishing an older packaging machine needs no rewiring of the panel supply.
Driving a Dia20 bore cylinder (about 157 N push at 0.5 MPa), the spring return pulls the ram home the instant the operator releases the signal - a natural fit for hand-loaded press-fitting of brass inserts into plastic housings.
Size in both directions. Going smaller, the identical valve exists with M5 ports (the 4V110-M5E) for tight manifold plumbing and 4 mm tubing - same Cv 0.6 rating but smaller fittings. Going larger, step up to the 4V210-08 body (1/4 in ports, Cv 1.0) once a Dia40 bore or a faster duty cycle outruns the 0.6 Cv this size delivers. On function: choose the double-solenoid 4V120-06ET if the actuator must stay put through a power cut, or a 5/3-way 4V130 body for controlled mid-stroke stops - remember those centre versions drop to Cv 0.51 and 3 cycles/s. Mount one valve alone or clip several onto a shared manifold base to save piping. Replacing an existing unit? Match five points exactly: 4V100 body size, function digit 10, 1/8 in port in NPT thread, AC24V coil, and terminal-box entry.
Quick checklist
Effective area 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6) with a maximum frequency of 5 cycles per second and a response time of 0.05 s or less. Operating pressure spans 0.15-0.8 MPa with 1.2 MPa proof pressure. The AC24V coil draws 4.0 VA, protection class is IP65 (DIN40050), insulation is class B, incoming air must be filtered to 40 um, and the valve weighs 120 g.
Code T cuts the 1/8 in ports as NPT taper, the sealing thread standard across North American machine plumbing, while code E fits a 24 V AC coil fed from a control transformer - the panel voltage most often found on US-built and legacy equipment. If your circuit is DC, order the -06B (DC24V, 2.8 W) or -06F (DC12V, 2.5 W) version of the same body; AC220V, AC110V and grommet-entry variants are also offered in the 4V110 range.
