Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E6F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E6F 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 3V106E6F
Six independent 3/2 valves share a single PT1/8 manifold in the 3V106E6F assembly, each valve direct-acting with a single AC24V solenoid and spring return. One station can feed a line while another vents it, covering single-acting cylinders, clamps, blow-off and pilot duty from one air connection.
Because all six coils draw just 5.0 VA at AC24V, a small control transformer can drive the whole assembly, and IP65 (DIN 40050) sealing protects the DIN plug connections on dusty machine frames.

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 3V106E6F Is Used
Sorting gate bank on a parcel line
Each of the six gates gets its own 3/2 valve, so diverters can fire in any sequence while sharing one manifold supply.
Fixture clamp array in a welding cell
Low-power AC24V coils let a safety-rated control circuit energise six clamps, all venting to exhaust on power loss.
Nozzle sequencing on a filling carousel
Blow-clear nozzles are switched station by station without a cabinet full of separate valves and fittings.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E6F the Right Part?
Manifold density is where the 3V1 body earns its place: up to 20 valves can be mounted in series, so a 6-station assembly like this leaves room to grow without re-plumbing. Note that 3V1 has no published Cv - if the duty is flow-critical, confirm sizing with us first, or step up to 3V2 (Cv 0.18-0.19, 1/8in or 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, vacuum capable) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). 3V2M wins when a dense manifold matters more than flow.
Before ordering, confirm: 1/8in port, PT thread (order G or NPT if needed), AC24V voltage, DIN plug entry, and 6 stations. For double-acting cylinders you need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
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 3V106E6F FAQ
Pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; AC24V coil power 5.0 VA (other voltages: AC220V/AC110V 4.5 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W); IP65 to DIN 40050; air filtered to 40 um or finer, no lubrication needed; manual override fitted. No Cv or effective-area figure is published for 3V1.
A shared PT1/8 base means one air connection, fewer fittings and less panel space, and the series mounting accepts 1 to 20 stations. Each valve still acts independently, driving single-acting cylinders, blow or pilot duty - but never a double-acting cylinder, which needs an AirTAC 4V 5-port valve.
