Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E3F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E3F 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 3V106E3F
The 3V106E3F keeps things small: a three-station block of 3/2-way direct-acting valves on a shared 1/8in PT base, each station driven by a 5.0 VA AC24V coil with spring return. One valve can feed a line while its neighbours vent theirs, so a compact machine section - say a clamp, a blow tip and a pilot signal - runs from one mounting point.
It is a genuine AirTAC assembly: IP65 (DIN 40050) coils on DIN sockets, a manual override on every station, and no lubrication needed provided the air is filtered through a 40 um or finer element. Expansion stays simple because the same family runs up to 20 stations on a base.

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 3V106E3F Is Used
Bench-mounted jig for small bracket welding
Three stations cover the clamp, the part-eject pusher and a cooling air puff, so one compact block runs the whole jig instead of three loose valves and hoses.
Capper head on a small bottling line
One station drives the single-acting cap-press cylinder, another blows the empty bottle neck clear, and the third pilots the cap-feed gate - all spring-return.
Air-knife adjustment on a coating line
Three low-power stations trim and vent three air-knife lines during recipe changes; the manual override lets an operator set each jet by hand before the coil takes over.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E3F the Right Part?
Flow data is the gap here: 3V1 carries no published Cv, so if a duty is flow-sensitive, confirm the sizing with us first. The natural upgrades are 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in bodies, selectable NC or NO, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) and 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); 3V2M is the answer when you want the tightest manifold pitch rather than more flow. For this three-station SKU, lock down five details before ordering: the 1/8in port, the PT thread (G and NPT are order options), the AC24V coil, DIN plug entry, and whether three stations is the right count versus the 1F-20F range. Double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, not a 3/2 valve.
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 3V106E3F FAQ
A three-station 3/2 manifold: each valve is direct-acting, single-solenoid, spring-return, with 1/8in PT ports. Pressure span 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; coil enclosure IP65 (DIN 40050). Coil power options run AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W - this block is AC24V throughout. AirTAC states no Cv for the 3V1 body, so flow-critical choices deserve a quick check with us.
One base, one mounting, three fewer plumbing interfaces - and the same family scales from 1F to 20F if the machine grows. Each station still acts independently, feeding or venting one line: a single-acting cylinder, a blow nozzle or a pilot signal. Remember that no 3/2 valve, this one included, can drive a double-acting cylinder; that job belongs to the 5-port AirTAC 4V range.
