Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B6F-AM
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B6F-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 3V106B6F-AM
With 3V106B6F-AM you get six 3/2 valves sharing one base, 1/8 PT threaded, each direct-acting and spring return. The spring is the operational story: cut coil power and every station vents its line automatically - valuable wherever a dropped signal must leave clamps released or blow-off off. Each valve is supplied in a single fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet. The -AM suffix denotes a factory option on this code; confirm its exact scope via the datasheet or your RFQ.
The manual override on every valve lets you jog each function during dry commissioning without energising anything. Coils are DC24V at 3.0 W, DIN plug entry, protected to IP65 (DIN 40050).

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 3V106B6F-AM Is Used
Power-loss venting on a heat-sealing machine
When the 24 V supply drops, the spring return vents the hold-down clamp lines on the sealer, so parts are released rather than left held by trapped air.
Bench fixture set in a maintenance workshop
Six manually overridable stations let technicians pulse test fixtures and blow guns from one manifold during equipment trials and repairs.
Carton flap tuck on a case packer
Spring-return tuck cylinders fold carton flaps as the packer indexes, each station fed and vented by its own 3/2 valve on the common base.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B6F-AM the Right Part?
No Cv figure exists for the 3V1 body, so treat anything flow-sensitive as a question for our engineers. To gain flow, choose 3V2 (1/8 or 1/4, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4, Cv 0.62); if a compact manifold is the priority rather than throughput, 3V2M is the body built for it. Double-acting actuation requires 5 ports - route that need to the AirTAC 4V series. Confirm before ordering: port M5 or 1/8, thread (PT as standard, G/NPT orderable), coil voltage, DIN plug against flying lead, and how many 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 3V106B6F-AM FAQ
Each 3/2 valve is single solenoid: energise to feed the outlet, de-energise and the spring returns the valve, venting the line. Ratings: 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050). The DC24V coil is 3.0 W; family-wide, AC220V and AC110V are 4.5 VA, AC24V is 5.0 VA and DC12V is 2.5 W. Cv is not published for 3V1 - confirm flow with us if it matters to your duty.
Three ports (supply, outlet, exhaust), two states: each valve feeds or vents one line. That fits single-acting cylinders, clamping, air blow and piloting larger valves - not double-acting cylinders, which need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series. Station counts from 1 to 20 can be ordered on one base, and each valve has one fixed initial state, so confirm it on the datasheet.
