AirTAC 3V106A-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F-AM)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F-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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F-AM)
The 3V106A13F-AM pairs a 13-station 3V1 manifold with the -AM order suffix, a build variant you should spell out with us at RFQ stage. Functionally each station is a direct-acting, spring-return 3/2 valve on 1/8in PT ports: energize the coil to switch the outlet between supply and exhaust, and the spring returns it to its fixed initial state on de-energization - confirm that state on the datasheet.
Spring return is the safety story: on power loss every station settles back without any electronics. Coils run at AC220V / 4.5 VA with IP65 (DIN 40050) protection, and manual overrides support step-by-step commissioning of the full block.

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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F-AM) Is Used
Automotive stud press
A stud-driving press cell vents its single-acting hold-down clamp to exhaust every cycle; the spring-return behaviour of this 3/2 valve matches the cylinder exactly.
Small punch-feed clamps
No pilot air stage is needed because each station is direct-acting, so a compact punch-feed unit can run its clamps straight off the shop air line at AC220V control voltage.
Pharma vial capping
A vial capping turret with thirteen single-acting crimp heads takes one valve station per head, and IP65 sealing copes with the routine wipe-downs of a pharma line.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F-AM) the Right Part?
Because -AM is a build variant, state it explicitly in the RFQ alongside the five order-defining points: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard on this family, G or NPT to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead) and station count - here thirteen stations on 1/8in PT.
On capacity: 3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power 3V body and carries no published Cv, so flow-critical duties should be confirmed with us. Larger flows point 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), while 3V2M suits projects where manifold density beats flow. For double-acting cylinders specify the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
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.
AirTAC 3V106A-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F-AM) FAQ
0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature, IP65 per DIN 40050, 1/8in PT ports, thirteen stations, AC220V coil at 4.5 VA. For reference the family also offers AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W and DC12V 2.5 W. A flow coefficient is not published for 3V1 - send us your duty and we will verify suitability.
The 3V1 ordering code has no NC/NO position: it is supplied in a single fixed initial state, which you should confirm on the datasheet before wiring. Spring return means the spool reverts to that state whenever the coil de-energizes, so a power cut leaves all thirteen stations parked in their rest position without any electronics.
