About the AirTAC PCV
The AirTAC PCV is a pilot check valve that screws into a cylinder port. Air flows in from the valve side freely; flow back out of the cylinder is blocked until pilot pressure is applied at the Z port. That traps the air in the cylinder, so the PCV is used for pressure-holding safety circuits and to stop a cylinder instantly at a position.
The pilot port is either threaded (blank code: M5x0.8 on the 1/8" size, 1/8" on the 1/4" size, 1/4" on 3/8" and 1/2") or a push-in fitting (F: Ø6 on 1/8" and 1/4", Ø8 on 3/8" and 1/2"), which saves space and installation time. The body is brass with an aluminum-alloy pilot section, NBR seals and stainless steel springs. It works from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa) on air filtered to 40 µm, at -20 to +70 °C; the catalog chart gives the minimum pilot pressure, which rises with the working pressure.

Where the PCV Is Used
Cylinder position hold
Stops a cylinder instantly and holds it where it is.
Pressure-holding safety
Keeps the load supported if supply pressure is lost.
Vertical loads
Stops a lifting cylinder from sinking at rest.
Choosing the Right PCV Configuration
Choose the port to match the cylinder: 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" (code 06, 08, 10, 15). The 1/8" and 1/4" sizes switch up to 60 times a minute, the 3/8" and 1/2" sizes up to 40.
Then the pilot port: no letter is a threaded pilot port, F a push-in fitting for the pilot tube.
PT is standard, G (BSPP) is marked G.
AirTAC PCV FAQ
By pilot pressure at the Z port. Without it, air cannot leave the cylinder through the valve.
F is the push-in pilot port (Ø6 on PCV06 and PCV08, Ø8 on PCV10 and PCV15); no letter is a threaded pilot port.
PCV06 53.2 g; PCV06F 53 g; PCV08 94.8 g; PCV08F 90 g; PCV10 142.8 g; PCV10F 142.2 g; PCV15 189.6 g; PCV15F 188.1 g (PT / NPT; G thread versions differ by up to 2.2 g).
