The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106F-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106F10F) 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.
The AirTAC 3V106F10F is a 10-station manifold assembly: ten 3/2-way, direct-acting, spring-return valves mounted in series on a common base, each with its own DC12V 2.5 W coil on a 1/8in PT port. Instead of piping ten separate valves, the manifold shares one supply and one mounting footprint, which is how this body saves panel space on multi-circuit machines.
Each station feeds or vents its own single line - the pattern for single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamping and pilot duty - and each keeps its own manual override for commissioning. Protection is IP65 (DIN 40050) and the medium must be filtered to 40 um or finer; no lubrication is required.

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.
Each of ten fixture positions on a rotary indexing table gets its own valve function to feed or vent its clamp cylinder, all from one common base.
A parcel sorter drives a row of single-acting diverters from one manifold; each station's DC12V coil is addressed individually by the sorter controller.
Several spring-return guard locks around a cell are fed and vented from one manifold, cutting the plumbing that individually piped valves would need.
A 10-station manifold only pays off if each station truly needs its own 3/2 function; check whether some circuits want 5-port valves for double-acting cylinders, in which case the AirTAC 4V manifold route is the correct comparison. AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1 body, so confirm any flow-critical station with us before standardising on this bank. If individual stations need more flow, the 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) are the step-up choices, and 3V2M is the alternative when density outranks flow.
Your order is defined by five choices: port size (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard, G and NPT to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug here; an I in the code means flying lead), and station count from 1F to 20F.
Confirm before you order
Each of the ten stations is a 3/2 direct-acting, spring-return valve with a 1/8in PT port and a DC12V coil drawing 2.5 W, so a fully loaded bank draws roughly 25 W. The manifold works at 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) and -20 to 70 C, carries IP65 (DIN 40050) protection, and needs air filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication. Cv is not published for the 3V1, so confirm flow-critical stations with us.
Yes - AirTAC builds the 3V1 manifold from 1F to 20F stations in series, so a bank of ten is one point in that range. Each station keeps its own DC12V coil and manual override, and the common base replaces individual piping to save panel space. The ports are PT threaded as standard on this family, with G and NPT available as order options. For double-acting cylinder banks, compare the 5-port AirTAC 4V route instead.
