The AirTAC AirTAC 4V110-06 Solenoid Valve, 4V100 Series (4V11006BG-W) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with W 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 4V11006BG-W is the external-pilot (-W) version of AirTAC's compact 4V110 valve: a 5/2-way, single-solenoid directional valve with spring return, G (BSPP parallel) 1/8" ports, a DC24V terminal-box coil drawing 2.8 W, and a body weight of just 120 g. Because pilot air is supplied through a dedicated external port rather than tapped internally from the main line, the spool keeps switching reliably on low-pressure or vacuum main circuits where an internally piloted valve would stall.
As a 5/2 single-solenoid valve it directs compressed air to one side of a double-acting cylinder while exhausting the other, and springs back to the rest position the moment the coil is de-energised - so it needs a constant electrical signal to hold the working stroke. With an effective area of 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, it pairs naturally with roughly 16-32 mm bores in tight, cycle-heavy machines. Insulation class B, IP65 protection and a 40 um filtration requirement round out the spec; lubrication is not 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.

External piloting keeps the spring-return stroke switching dependably even when the main supply to a 16-32 mm clamp cylinder runs at reduced or unstable pressure; Cv 0.6 flow is ample for short-stroke clamp and unclamp cycles.
Because the spool springs back on signal loss, a gripper or small double-acting actuator returns to a defined rest position whenever the PLC drops the 24 V output - useful for restart-safe bench automation and teaching rigs.
In test rigs and vacuum-handling skids the main line may sit near or below atmospheric pressure. Feeding the pilot port separately lets this valve cycle a small double-acting actuator where internal piloting would fail outright.
Choose this -W variant when your main-line pressure dips, fluctuates or sits near vacuum: external piloting decouples the switching signal from the supply, which the standard internally piloted 4V110-06BG cannot do. If your double-acting cylinder is larger than ~32 mm or you need faster extension, move up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0). Need position memory, or closed / exhaust / pressure center behavior? That calls for a 4V120 or 4V130C/E/P instead - this model will always spring-return when power drops. Single valves can also be banked on a common manifold base for multi-valve stations.
Ordering a replacement? Match all five points: body size (4V100), function (10 = single solenoid spring return), port and thread (1/8" G / BSPP), coil voltage (DC24V, 2.8 W) and electrical entry (terminal box) - plus this external-pilot -W option, which is not interchangeable with the internally piloted base SKU in low-pressure service.
Quick checklist
On a standard 4V110 the pilot stage taps air from the valve's own inlet. The -W version has a separate external pilot port instead, so switching no longer depends on main-line pressure. Pick it for circuits with low, fluctuating or vacuum-level supply pressure; on normal 0.15-0.8 MPa lines the internally piloted 4V110-06BG does the same job.
It directs air to double-acting cylinders or actuators in the ~16-32 mm class, with an effective area of 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6) and switching in 0.05 s or less. As a single-solenoid spring-return valve it holds the working stroke only while the DC24V coil (2.8 W, terminal box) stays energised; de-energising it immediately returns the cylinder to the rest position.
