Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B4F-AM
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B4F-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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B4F-AM
The 3V106B4F-AM pairs a four-station 3V1 manifold with the -AM catalogue suffix. Underneath, it is standard 3V1 logic: each 1/8in PT station is a direct-acting 3/2 valve that either pressurises its outlet or vents it, returning by spring when the DC24V coil - rated 3.0 W - de-energises.
Because the suffix may change an option on the assembly, confirm its meaning from the datasheet or with our RFQ desk before you standardise on it. Every station still carries IP65 (DIN 40050) protection and a manual override, and the air supply must be filtered to 40 um or finer.

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 3V106B4F-AM Is Used
Mould-side ejector blow
Compressed air puffs finished caps off an injection-moulding ejector row; four 3/2 stations fire the jets in sequence from one base.
Stop-gate clamp on a conveyor
A spring-return gate clamp holds cartons at a conveyor stop; the valve feeds it and vents it, and the single-acting clamp retracts on its own spring at power loss.
Lead-trim machine hold-downs
Compact single-acting hold-downs on a lead-forming machine get feed-and-vent control from two stations, with two spares for future jets.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B4F-AM the Right Part?
Flow data first: no Cv or effective area is published for the 3V1, the most compact body in the AirTAC 3V line, so size by stepping up when needed - 3V2 for 1/4in ports, selectable NC or NO, Cv 0.18-0.19 and vacuum duty; 3V3 for 1/4in and Cv 0.62; 3V2M where manifold density outranks flow. A 3/2 valve cannot drive a double-acting cylinder; that takes the 5-port AirTAC 4V series. If the -AM option turns out not to fit, the plain 3V106B4F covers the same four-station base function.
Confirm five things: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is the family standard; G and NPT are order options), coil voltage, entry type (DIN plug here; flying-lead codes carry an I), and station count from 1F up to 20F.
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 3V106B4F-AM FAQ
0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) pressure; -20 to 70 C media temperature; DC24V coils at 3.0 W each on this code; IP65 (DIN 40050); air filtered to 40 um or finer; four 3/2 direct-acting spring-return stations on 1/8in PT ports. AirTAC states no Cv for the 3V1 - confirm flow-sensitive jobs with us.
The 3V1 ordering code carries no NC/NO position, so there is no choice to make: it is supplied in a single fixed initial state, which the catalogue describes as direct-acting normally open behaviour. Verify the exact state on the datasheet before wiring your circuit. It suits single-acting cylinders, blow duty and pilot signals - never double-acting cylinders.
