The AirTAC Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V110M5B-AM is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with AM 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 4V110M5B-AM is the compact 4V100 body in its 5/2 single-solenoid form, built here with M5 inlet and outlet ports and a DC24V coil. It switches compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators: energise the solenoid to send pressure to port A, cut power and the internal spring snaps the spool back so the rod retracts. The extended position is therefore held only while the coil stays energised.
With an effective area of 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6) it is sized for double-acting cylinders of roughly O16-32 mm bore. Spool actuation takes 0.05 s or less, the DC24V coil draws just 2.8 W, and the whole valve weighs 120 g. The M5 threads screw straight into a tapped manifold block or machine wall with no adaptor fittings, which keeps the pneumatic footprint minimal.

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.

Small double-acting clamp cylinders hold boards flat during ICT probing. Cv 0.6 covers O16-32 mm clamps, and the spring return lifts every clamp the moment coil power drops.
M5 threads engage the tapped ports of a distribution manifold with no adaptors, ideal for tight valve banks in compact machines where the 120 g body keeps inertia low.
A mini robot arm cycling a parallel gripper benefits from the 0.05 s response; the spring return guarantees the gripper opens on power-off for safe part release.
Downward, you are already at the floor: M5 is the smallest port AirTAC offers on the 4V100, so there is no smaller step in this body. The nearest sideways move is the 4V110-06, which carries the identical 10.2 mm2 / Cv 0.6 orifice on a 1/8 in tapered port for standard push-in fittings. Upward, step to the 4V200 body (Cv 1.0) once bores exceed ~32 mm or cycle rates climb. A single 4V110 can also sit on a 4V100 base and later join an integrated manifold valve group as your circuit grows.
Replacing one? Match five points: body size 4V100, function 10 (single solenoid, spring return), port M5 (M5 SKUs carry no thread letter), voltage code B (DC24V), and electrical entry - blank here, meaning terminal box rather than grommet.
Quick checklist
It is a 5/2 single-solenoid valve for double-acting cylinders and actuators in the ~O16-32 mm bore class. Key figures in one place: effective area 10.2 mm2 (Cv 0.6), response time 0.05 s or less, up to 5 cycles per second, operating pressure 0.15-0.8 MPa with 1.2 MPa proof pressure, DC24V coil at 2.8 W, weight 120 g, air filtered by a 40 um element. The M5 inlet and outlet are its smallest-port configuration; lubrication is not required.
The valve extends the cylinder only while the DC24V coil is energised; de-energising it lets the spring push the spool to the retract position. That gives you a fail-safe retract when power is cut, but it also means the solenoid must be fed continuously to hold the workpiece out. If you need the cylinder to keep its last position without power, use the double-solenoid 4V120 (memory) instead - and for suspended loads add pilot-operated check valves or a mechanical brake, since no directional valve alone is a certified safety hold.
