The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A7F-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.
The AirTAC 3V106A7F-AM pairs the seven-station 3/2 manifold format with the -AM catalogue option; check the datasheet or ask us what that suffix adds before you specify it. Functionally, every station is a direct-acting, single-solenoid, spring-return 3/2 valve in 1/8in PT, switching one line between pressure and exhaust.
Commissioning is quick: the manual override on each coil lets you cycle a station without power, useful during jig set-up or fault-finding. The AC220V coil consumes 4.5 VA, the unit is IP65 to DIN 40050, and the air supply should be filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication needed. Order it as a genuine AirTAC part together with the rest of your machine BOM.

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.
Snaps the diverter gates on a courier parcel sorter, exhausting each gate so it returns by spring the instant the signal drops.
Raises and drops the stopper pins that queue cartons on a food-line conveyor, spring return giving a fail-safe drop on power loss.
Switches the air-actuated sample probe and purge actuators on an engine emissions test bench, one station per probe, cycled by hand during set-up.
Do not size this bank on guesswork: no Cv is published for 3V1, so any flow-sensitive circuit deserves a check with our engineers. Larger flows belong on 3V2 (1/8in or 1/4in, selectable NC or NO, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum capable) or on 3V3 with its 1/4in port and Cv 0.62. If manifold density beats raw flow, 3V2M is the model to weigh against this. For double-acting actuators, move to the 5-port AirTAC 4V range instead.
Five choices define your order: M5 or 1/8in port; PT (the family standard) or G/NPT as ordered options; coil voltage; DIN plug or flying-lead entry; and the station count, from a single valve up to a 20-station manifold.
Confirm before you order
A 3/2 direct-acting, single-solenoid, spring-return design rated 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) over -20 to 70 C with IP65 protection. Coil draw by voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W. No Cv or effective area is stated for the 3V1 body - send flow questions to us.
-AM is a catalogue suffix on this assembly; confirm exactly what it covers on the datasheet or by RFQ before ordering. The catalogue describes 3V1 as a direct-acting normally open type, supplied in one fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet against your circuit.
