Reference weight

Weight source difference: the 2022 summary weight table on printed page 300 lists 80 g for this size and actuation. The 2022 family technical page and the linked PDF list 85 g. The Chinese 4A catalog currently linked from the official product page, published in February 2023, also lists 85 g on printed page 123. This listing retains 80 g as the 2022 summary-table reference. The reviewed catalogs do not explain the discrepancy or assign it to an identified production revision. The summary table itself states that weights are for reference and the actual product prevails. Confirm or weigh the supplied unit before weight-sensitive design or shipping calculations.
Operation and Catalog Notes
The single pilot operates the spool between two positions, with spring return shown in the catalog pneumatic symbol.
Sliding-spool construction is designed for sealing and sensitive response. The internal bore uses special processing to reduce friction and starting pressure and support service life.
Oil lubrication is not required. If lubricated air is introduced, lubrication must be continued; the catalog recommends ISO VG32 oil or equivalent.
Maximum actuation frequency is specified under no-load conditions. Effective area and Cv values are calculated from flow-test data.
The series supports manifold integration to save mounting space; select the matching size and catalog mounting arrangement.
Flow Characteristics
Catalog model reference
Published effective area / Cv
4A110-06 / 4A120-06
Effective area 10.2 mm²; Cv 0.6
4A130C-06
Effective area 8.6 mm²; Cv 0.51
The flow curve is labeled 4A110-06. Its axes show operating pressure from 0 to 0.7 MPa and flow in L/min; values are AirTAC laboratory test data. The printed chart range is 0–1200 L/min, which is an axis range rather than a guaranteed operating flow. The figures above retain the exact model labels printed in the table; no unprinted flow rating is assigned to another port size or center function.
Dimensions and Mounting
Dimensions follow the applicable drawing in the 2022 catalog, printed page 115. Numerical linear dimensions are in millimeters. Lettered references retain the catalog labels; unlabeled callouts are identified by the view and feature. Threaded connections are shown separately. The drawing uses the standard PT version; the selected thread option is stated in the model code table.

Accessories and Ordering Options
The 2022 manifold page 123 explicitly pairs 4A100 valves with 100M manifolds (1–16 stations). The matching blank-plate kit is P-100M-R2. Manifold kits list manifold, seal and screws; blank-plate kits list blank plate and screws. These are separately identified accessory kits; screw and seal quantities are not stated.
M5 models omit the thread suffix. Other sizes are ordered with blank = PT, G = G thread, or T = NPT. Actuation options are 10 single pilot, 20 double pilot, and 30C / 30E / 30P for closed / exhaust / pressure center. These are separate model choices, not adjustable modes of one ordered valve.
Cylinder and Circuit Selection Reference
The 2022 catalog, printed page 299, lists the following theoretical cylinder selection references for 4A11006. These are catalog reference combinations, not a guarantee of cylinder speed in an installed circuit. Tubing is outside diameter x inside diameter. The listed auxiliary choices belong to the reference row; choose connection threads to match the actual valve and circuit. Accessories are separate selections, not an included package.
The reference table names the base model without a thread suffix. This listing has G threads; the base size and actuation are the same selection reference, while fittings must match this thread option.
