About the Airtac CM3HD Double Acting Selector Mechanical Valve CM3HD06GG
Built on an aluminum-alloy body, the AirTAC CM3HD06GG is a 5/3-way mechanical valve with G1/8 ports and the two-way selector switch head (HD) in green. It is worked by hand, as a simple control for an air circuit at the machine or on a panel. The HD two-way selector gives the 5/3-way function; the other CM3 heads are 3/2-way. At the G1/8 port the effective area is 2.5 mm2 (Cv 0.14).
It is a poppet valve, so it seals tightly and switches cleanly. It runs on air filtered to 40 um from 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-145 psi), with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, at -20 to +70 C. No lubrication is needed. The G suffix gives G (BSPP) threads instead of the standard PT.

How to choose
This code uses the 1/8 port (2.5 mm2, Cv 0.14); the same HD head also comes with M5 (05, Cv 0.11) and 1/4 (08, Cv 0.84). A larger port passes more air when the valve drives a cylinder or a long pilot line directly. The color letter after the port is G (green) here; CM3HD06R red, CM3HD06B black and CM3HD06Y yellow are the other colors of this head. CM3HD06G is the PT thread version of this code. Other hand-operated heads: rocker lever (Y), turn-release latching button (PL), extended push button (PP), flush push button (PF), mushroom push button (PM), mushroom button with guard (PMS), large mushroom button with guard (PMX) and selector switch (HS).
Applications
Auto / manual selection
The selector sets an air circuit to one mode or the other and stays there.
Mode switch on a panel
Picks between two air paths at the operator panel. The G1/8 port gives Cv 0.14.
Setup mode
Switches a machine into a setup state with a turn of the knob.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the CM3HD06GG?
5/3-way mechanical valve, two-way selector switch head (HD), green; G1/8 ports, effective area 2.5 mm2 (Cv 0.14); 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi); -20 to +70 C; air filtered to 40 um; aluminum-alloy body.
What does the G in CM3HD06GG mean?
It is the color letter of the two-way selector switch: G = green. Only the push-button and selector heads take a color letter (R red, G green, B black, Y yellow).
