Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B8F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B8F 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 3V106B8F
Order the 3V106B8F and you get an eight-valve manifold built around 1/8in PT ports: eight independently switched 3/2 circuits, one shared supply, one less piping job. Each position is a direct-acting, spring-return valve with a single solenoid, so a de-energised station always vents its own line back to exhaust.
The 3.0 W DC24V coil keeps the cabinet load low even at eight stations, and the DIN plug entry is sealed to IP65 (DIN 40050). Feed the base with air filtered to 40 um or finer - lubrication is not required, so the valves suit clean packaging and electronics lines.

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 3V106B8F Is Used
Eight-clamp machining fixture
A CNC machining-centre fixture with eight single-acting swing clamps draws air from one 8F base, so each clamp is toggled, held and vented from its own valve position.
Injection mold cleaning jets
Between molding cycles, selected valve positions fire air jets that lift flashed particles out of the cavity, keeping the tool clean without manual wiping.
Bottling line reject gate
A spring-return 3/2 position drives the single-acting reject gate on a bottle filler: when the coil drops out, the gate vents shut and off-spec bottles leave the lane.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B8F the Right Part?
AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1, so treat flow as a confirm-with-us item rather than a datasheet lookup. When a station needs more air, move up the range: 3V2 offers 1/8in and 1/4in ports with NC or NO selectable function, Cv 0.18-0.19 and a vacuum rating, while 3V3 reaches 1/4in at Cv 0.62. If your priority is valve density per millimetre rather than flow, compare the 3V2M manifold body. And if the actuator is double-acting, route the requirement to the AirTAC 4V 5-port series.
Lock down five choices before you buy: M5 or 1/8in port; thread (PT standard here, G and NPT to order); coil voltage (DC24V, 3.0 W, on this code); entry style (DIN plug on this SKU - flying lead is the I-suffix alternative); and manifold length, which for this assembly is eight stations.
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 3V106B8F FAQ
Eight 3/2 direct-acting, spring-return positions on a 1/8in PT manifold base. Pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; IP65 (DIN 40050). Coil power by voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W (this code), DC12V 2.5 W. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for the 3V1, so confirm flow with us.
No. A 3-port valve either feeds its outlet or vents it, which suits single-acting cylinders, clamps, blow jets and pilot signals. A double-acting cylinder needs two outlet lines and a 5-port valve - specify the AirTAC 4V series for that duty.
