Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A8F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A8F 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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A8F
Eight independently switched 3/2 valves on one shared base: the AirTAC 3V106A8F turns an eight-circuit control task into a single compact manifold block in 1/8in PT. Each station is direct-acting with spring return, feeding or venting its outlet, so it cycles single-acting cylinders, clamp jaws and blow nozzles or pilots a larger valve.
The AC220V coils draw just 4.5 VA each, hold IP65 (DIN 40050), and plug in through DIN connectors for simple swap-out. Station count can run from 1 to 20 in series, so the format grows with the machine. Filter air to 40 um or finer; the valve works without lubrication.

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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A8F Is Used
Modular fixture clamps
Fires the eight clamp cylinders of a modular CNC pallet fixture, one station per clamp, all venting together when the cycle aborts.
Canning line purge block
Pulses the can-purge air jets on a beverage canning line, eight jets governed from one manifold block mounted beside the seamer.
Palletizer gripper array
Actuates the spring-return fingers across a palletizer's gripper head, each valve cycling independently to match the pick pattern.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A8F the Right Part?
Flow data is the one gap to close before buying: no Cv or effective area is published for 3V1, so confirm any flow-sensitive duty with us first. Where circuits demand more, 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) are the natural step-ups, and 3V2M suits dense manifold builds where flow is not the constraint. Double-acting cylinders are out of scope for any 3-port valve - route that need to the AirTAC 4V series.
Lock down five details with your RFQ: port size (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT as standard; G and NPT are order codes), coil voltage, DIN plug versus flying lead, and the number of manifold stations you need.
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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A8F FAQ
Yes: 3/2-way, direct-acting, single solenoid with spring return; 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) working pressure; -20 to 70 C media temperature; IP65 to DIN 40050. Coil power: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W. AirTAC states no Cv or effective area for 3V1, so confirm flow-critical sizing with us.
The 3V1 format mounts one to twenty valves in series, so a panel can grow beyond eight stations by ordering the required manifold assembly. For mounting and sealing, use the 3V1-P30 base set, the 3V1-P31 O-ring and long screws, and the 3V1-P32 bracket set.
