AirTAC 3V106A-11 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A11F-AM)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-11 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A11F-AM) is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/8 in ports. It either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, which is what makes it the valve for single-acting cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty.

About the AirTAC 3V106A-11 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A11F-AM)
Eleven valves, one base: the 3V106A11F-AM mounts eleven AirTAC 3V1 sections in series, each a 3/2 direct-acting spring-return unit with a 1/8in PT port and an AC220V coil rated 4.5 VA. That odd eleventh station is exactly why this code exists - when a fixture or panel needs one more function than a round-number bank, you order the 11F build instead of leaving a spare. The -AM suffix again needs confirming against the datasheet.
Every section switches a single line between feed and exhaust, so it drives single-acting cylinders, blow points, clamps or a pilot stage. Manual override on each station and IP65 (DIN 40050) coils keep commissioning and day-to-day service straightforward.

What a 3/2 Valve Does
A 3/2 valve has three ports — supply, outlet and exhaust — and two states. It either feeds the outlet or vents it to exhaust, and that is the whole job.
That makes it the right valve for a single-acting (spring-return) cylinder, on/off air blow, a clamp, switching a vacuum generator or suction cup, and piloting a larger valve.
It cannot run a double-acting cylinder. A double-acting cylinder needs air alternately on two sides, which takes a 5-port valve — the AirTAC 4V series.
Where the AirTAC 3V106A-11 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A11F-AM) Is Used
Multi-point clamping on a CNC fixture
Eleven single-acting clamps locate a machined casting in one motion, each fed by its own manifold station and released by spring when the coil drops.
Pin extractors on an automotive pallet line
Each station lifts one locating pin clear of a pallet as it passes, with manual override letting technicians cycle pins one by one during changeover.
Pilot bank on a chemical dosing skid
Low-power 4.5 VA AC220V coils send pilot signals to diaphragm process valves while the shared base keeps the dosing skid's panel footprint tight.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-11 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A11F-AM) the Right Part?
Manifold sizing is flexible: AirTAC builds 3V1 series banks from 1F to 20F, so match the station count to your I/O and order 3V106A11F-AM or any nearby count. Flow is the boundary of this body - no Cv is published for 3V1, and its ports are small - so escalate flow-critical lines to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62), or pick 3V2M when packing valves densely matters more than per-station flow. Double-acting cylinders belong on the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, not here. Fix the five order points first: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard, G and NPT to order), voltage, DIN plug versus flying lead, and station count.
Confirm before you order
- ✓ Port size and thread (PT from stock; G / NPT to order)
- ✓ Coil voltage matches your controller output
- ✓ Electrical entry — DIN plug or flying lead
- ✓ Single valve, bare base, or complete assembly
- ✓ Single-acting duty, not double-acting
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Stay within 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure.
- check Match the coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering up.
- check Leave the exhaust port clear, or fit a silencer.
- check Blank any unused station on the base before pressurising.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
