Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E5F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E5F 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 3V106E5F
Five valves, five independent 3/2 circuits: 3V106E5F mounts five AirTAC 3V1 direct-acting solenoid valves on one PT1/8 manifold. Each position is single-solenoid with spring return, feeding its outlet when energised and exhausting it when the coil drops - the switching pattern behind single-acting cylinder control, clamping, air blow and pilot signals.
Five stations strike a balance between panel space and wiring effort: one air feed, one manifold footprint, five IP65 (DIN 40050) coils drawing 5.0 VA each on AC24V, plus a manual override per valve for dry cycling during setup.

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 3V106E5F Is Used
Bottle-rinsing air knives
Five micro air knives across a bottling infeed blow droplets off containers, each zone toggled by its own station on the 5-valve block.
Weld-cell fixture clamp bank
Five spring-return clamps around a weld fixture hold a bracket in position, each released by dropping its coil so the spring vents the clamp line.
Pilot stage on process valves
The 3/2 positions send pilot signals to larger process valves, with 5.0 VA AC24V coils keeping the control loop's power budget small.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E5F the Right Part?
Flow data first: AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for 3V1, so verify flow-sensitive jobs with us before committing. To go bigger, 3V2 offers 1/8in and 1/4in bodies with NC or NO selectable function, Cv 0.18-0.19 and a vacuum rating; 3V3 reaches Cv 0.62 on 1/4in; 3V2M is the pick where manifold density beats flow. For double-acting cylinders, specify a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series.
On this assembly confirm: port 1/8in (M5 is the other 3V1 option), thread PT as coded with G and NPT orderable, voltage AC24V, entry DIN plug rather than flying lead, and the 5-station count within the 1F-20F manifold family.
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 3V106E5F FAQ
Yes: 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature, coil power 4.5 VA on AC220V, 4.5 VA on AC110V, 5.0 VA on AC24V, 3.0 W on DC24V, 2.5 W on DC12V, and IP65 protection per DIN 40050. There is no published Cv or effective area for the 3V1, and the valve arrives in one fixed initial state stated on the datasheet.
Wherever five low-power on/off air circuits are controlled together: single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, air-blow nozzles and pilot duty. It will not run a double-acting cylinder - that calls for a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve - and flow-critical duties should be checked against 3V2 or 3V3 first.
