The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-06EI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/8, AC24V, grommet entry (4V21006EI) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21006EI 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 4V210-06EI is a single-solenoid, 5/2-way pneumatic directional valve from the AirTAC 4V200 series, pre-wired with an AC24V coil and a 0.5 m grommet-style flying lead for direct electrical connection. It directs compressed air to one side of a double-acting cylinder or rotary actuator while simultaneously exhausting the opposite side, and its internal spring returns the spool to the home position the moment the coil is de-energised—so the valve needs a continuous electrical signal to stay in the actuated state.
With an effective flow area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, this 1/8-inch PT-ported body suits mid-speed cycling of cylinders roughly in the Ø32–50 mm range. The AC24V coil draws 5.0 VA, and the IP65-rated enclosure keeps out dust and low-pressure water jets, making it a reliable choice for general industrial automation where a spring-return action is preferred.

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.

Drives a double-acting pusher cylinder on a packaging line. The spring-return action ensures the pusher retracts to a safe home position when the AC24V signal is removed, preventing product jams.
Controls a pneumatic clamp on an assembly jig. The single-solenoid design means the clamp releases automatically if power is interrupted, which can be a safety advantage in manual-load stations.
A straightforward 5/2 valve for basic extend-retract motion on small presses, diverters, or sorting gates. The AC24V grommet coil simplifies wiring into control panels with 24 V AC power available.
Choose this 4V210-06EI when your application calls for a single-solenoid 5/2 valve that defaults to a known position on power loss—ideal for basic extend-retract sequences where the cylinder must retract or stop safely if the signal drops. The 1/8-inch port and Cv 1.0 flow capacity place it in the sweet spot for cylinders around Ø32–50 mm; if you are driving a smaller Ø20–25 mm cylinder and want a more compact valve, step down to the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6). For larger bores or faster cycle times, the 4V300 (Cv 1.65) provides the extra flow.
When replacing an existing valve, match five points: body size (4V200), function (single 5/2), port and thread (1/8-inch PT), coil voltage (AC24V), and electrical entry (grommet with flying lead). The 4V200 can be mounted individually or on a manifold base, so if you are building a multi-valve station, confirm the manifold type matches your sub-base pattern.
Quick checklist
With a Cv of 1.0 and a 17.0 mm² effective area, this valve suits double-acting cylinders approximately Ø32–50 mm in bore for typical industrial cycle rates. Smaller cylinders will cycle faster; larger ones will run slower. For precise sizing, always calculate the required Cv based on your cylinder volume, operating pressure, and target cycle time.
The 4V210-06EI is a single-solenoid valve: the solenoid must be energised continuously to hold the spool in the actuated position. If the AC24V signal is interrupted—whether intentionally or due to a power failure—the internal mechanical spring pushes the spool back to its home position. This means the cylinder will return to its default state without any electrical command, which is useful for fail-safe retract sequences.
