About the AirTAC 6A
Discontinued: AirTAC stopped selling the 6A series in January 2026 and has not named a replacement. Request a quote with the order code and we will confirm whether this valve can still be supplied.
The AirTAC 6A is a 5/2 and 5/3-way air-piloted valve on 0500, 100, 200 and 300 series bodies with M5 to 3/8" ports. It comes as a 5/2-way valve, single air pilot (10) or double air pilot (20, holds its position), and as a 5/3-way valve with a closed (30C), exhaust (30E) or pressure (30P) center.
It is switched by an external air signal on its pilot port, with no electrics. The body is extruded aluminum alloy with a specially finished bore for a high flow, and it can be mounted on a base manifold to save space. It works from 0.15 to 0.8 MPa (0.2 to 0.8 MPa for the 5/3-way) on air filtered to 40 µm, proof pressure 1.2 MPa, -20 to +70 °C, with no lubrication needed.

Choosing the Right 6A Configuration
Choose the body by flow: 0500 series M5 (3.4 mm², Cv 0.2); 100 series M5, 1/8" (8.9 mm², Cv 0.52); 200 series 1/8", 1/4" (15.4 mm², Cv 0.91); 300 series 3/8" (38.4 mm², Cv 2.26). The threaded versions listed here are PT; the datasheet also lists G and NPT (code G or T).
Then the function: 10 single air pilot (spring return), 20 double air pilot (holds its position), 30C closed center, 30E exhaust center, 30P pressure center.
