The AirTAC AirTAC 4V210-06F Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/8, DC12V, terminal entry (4V21006F) is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21006F 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 4V210-06F is a single-solenoid, 5/2-way pneumatic directional control valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators. Its spool is shifted by energising the DC12V coil and returned by a mechanical spring when the signal is removed, making it a spring-return design that requires a constant electrical signal to stay in the actuated position.
Built on the 4V200 body, this valve provides an effective area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0) and typically suits double-acting cylinders in the ~O32-50 mm range. The DC12V coil draws just 2.5 W of power, and the response time is 0.05 seconds or less, giving you crisp, predictable cylinder starts. The 1/8-inch PT porting keeps the footprint compact for space-constrained pneumatic panels.

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.

The 2.5 W DC12V coil makes this valve a natural fit for mobile assembly jigs and handheld automation tools running on a 12 V battery supply, controlling a small clamp or press cylinder with minimal power draw.
Use the 4V210-06F to drive a double-acting gate cylinder on a small conveyor diverter. The 1/8-inch ports match the tubing typically used for short-stroke, light-load sorting actuators.
In benchtop test fixtures that cycle a pneumatic cylinder repeatedly, the spring-return action ensures the actuator retracts to a home position when the 12 V signal is cut, providing a simple, repeatable sequence.
Choose the 4V210-06F when you need a compact 5/2 valve with a DC12V coil for mobile or battery-backed equipment. If your cylinder is smaller than O32 mm, stepping down to the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) can save space and air consumption; for larger bores or faster cycle rates above 5 cycles per second, the 4V300 body (Cv 1.65) is a better match.
This single-solenoid spring-return configuration is ideal when the valve must default to a known safe position on power loss. When replacing a valve, match all five points: 4V200 body size, 5/2 single-solenoid function, 1/8-inch port with PT thread, DC12V coil voltage, and terminal-style electrical entry. The valve can be used as a standalone unit or mounted on a 4V200 manifold base for multi-valve assemblies.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0), this 4V200-body valve is well-matched to double-acting cylinders in roughly the O32 to O50 mm bore range for general industrial cycling. Smaller cylinders will work but may cycle faster than needed; larger cylinders will move more slowly and may benefit from the higher Cv of a 4V300 series valve.
Because the 4V210-06F is a single-solenoid valve with a mechanical spring return, the spool immediately shifts back to its home position when the coil is de-energised. This exhausts one side of the double-acting cylinder and pressurises the other, returning the actuator to its default spring-returned state.
