The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-06AI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/8, AC220V, grommet entry (4V21006AI) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21006AI ports and an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The AirTAC 4V210-06AI is a 5/2-way single-solenoid directional control valve from the popular 4V200 series, factory-configured with an AC220V coil and a grommet-style electrical entry. Its 0.5 m pre-wired flying lead simplifies installation on machines where a terminal box is hard to reach, letting you connect directly to the control cabinet without opening the valve enclosure. The valve directs compressed air to one side of a double-acting cylinder while exhausting the other; it requires a continuous 220 V AC signal to stay shifted and springs back to its home position the moment power is removed.
With an effective area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0), this body size suits double-acting cylinders roughly in the Ø32–50 mm range for general industrial actuation. The sliding-spool design responds in 0.05 s or less, operates on filtered air (40 µm) from 0.15–0.8 MPa, and carries an IP65 protection rating. Its aluminum-alloy body weighs 220 g and includes a manual override for setup and troubleshooting.

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.

Controls small pushers and diverters on conveyor systems. The AC220V grommet lead simplifies wiring inside crowded control panels, and the 5/2 spring-return action ensures the actuator retracts safely if power is interrupted.
Drives clamping and pressing cylinders in semi-automatic assembly stations. The 17.0 mm2 effective area delivers crisp, repeatable shifts for cylinders up to 50 mm bore, holding parts firmly during joining or fastening.
Operates chip guards, coolant diverters, or door interlocks on CNC machines. The IP65-rated enclosure and 0.05 s response keep the valve reliable even in wet or dusty shop-floor conditions.
Choose the 4V210-06AI when you need a compact 1/8-inch valve that runs on a 220 V AC supply and prefer a pre-wired grommet lead over a terminal box. The 4V200 body sits between the smaller 4V100 (Cv 0.6, for cylinders below about Ø25 mm) and the larger 4V300 (Cv 1.65, for bores above Ø63 mm or faster cycle times). If your application requires the valve to hold its last position during a power loss, step up to the double-solenoid 4V220 series; if you need a mid-position stop, look at the 4V230C/E/P 5/3-way models.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: body size (4V200), function (5/2 single solenoid), port and thread (1/8-inch PT), coil voltage (AC220V), and electrical entry (grommet). This model can be used as a single valve or mounted on a 4V200 manifold base when you need a multi-valve station.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0), this valve is a good match for double-acting cylinders roughly in the Ø32–50 mm range. Smaller cylinders will cycle very quickly; larger ones may move slower than desired, in which case stepping up to a 4V300 body (Cv 1.65) is recommended.
The 'I' suffix denotes a grommet-type entry with a 0.5 m flying lead, which is pre-wired and sealed at the factory. It saves wiring time on the machine and is often preferred when the valve is mounted in a tight space where a terminal box would be difficult to open. The standard (no 'I') version has a DIN-style terminal box for on-site conduit connection.
