Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5-X0
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5-X0 is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with M5 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 3V1M5-X0
The AirTAC 3V1M5-X0 is the M5-port version of the 3V1 body: a direct-acting, single-solenoid 3/2 valve with spring return. It either feeds one outlet or vents it, so it suits single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamping and pilot duty on compact machines where space is at a premium.
The -X0 suffix marks a coded variant, so confirm the exact coil voltage and entry on the datasheet before ordering. The coil is sealed to IP65 (DIN 40050), the valve needs air filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication, and a manual override is fitted to ease commissioning.

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 3V1M5-X0 Is Used
Miniature pick-and-place heads
Feeds a compact single-acting gripper cylinder on a micro-assembly cell, venting it safely to exhaust each cycle.
Bench-top analyzer purge lines
Switches filtered instrument air to a sample purge port on laboratory equipment where an M5 fitting is the only one that fits.
PCB rework blow-off jets
Gives the operator a footswitch-controlled pulse of clean air to clear flux residue from a workbench rework station.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5-X0 the Right Part?
The 3V1 is the smallest and lowest-power body in the 3V range, and AirTAC publishes no Cv for it, so treat flow-critical duties as something to confirm with us first. If you need more flow, size up to the 3V2 (1/8 and 1/4 ports, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or the 3V3 (1/4 port, Cv 0.62); where a dense manifold matters more than raw flow, pick the 3V2M. A double-acting cylinder calls for the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, not this valve.
Match five points before you order: port (M5 or 1/8), thread (PT is the family standard; G and NPT are order options), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and individual valve versus a manifold of 1 to 20 stations. Also confirm the fixed initial state on the datasheet, since the 3V1 code carries no NC/NO selector.
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 Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5-X0 FAQ
Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa and media temperature spans -20 to 70 C. Coil ratings in the 3V1 family: 4.5 VA on AC220V and AC110V, 5.0 VA on AC24V, 3.0 W on DC24V and 2.5 W on DC12V. Protection is IP65 (DIN 40050). Note that AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area figure for the 3V1 body, so confirm flow-critical duties with us.
It has three ports (supply, outlet, exhaust) and two states, so it feeds or vents a single line. That fits single-acting spring-return cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping and piloting a larger valve. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder; that requires a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series.
