The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A1F 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.
3V1M5A1F is the 1-station assembly of the 3V1 family: one direct-acting 3/2 valve with M5 port, pre-mounted on a series base. Single solenoid with spring return, and an AC220V coil that takes only 4.5 VA.
Because the valve sits on the series base used across the family, the same system is offered from 1 to 20 stations, so a machine can grow without redesigning the mounting. IP65 (DIN 40050) sealing, no-lubrication air filtered to 40 um, and a manual override round out the commissioning picture.

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.
Drives the spring-return ram cylinder of a light-duty bench press used for staking or riveting small components.
Opens and vents the single-acting container gate on a small filler skid, with the series base leaving room for future stations.
Delivers a timed puff of air that seats labels onto cartons as they pass an applicator head on a packaging machine.
Because 3V1M5A1F arrives on a series base, the first question is where the manifold ends: the same system runs from 1 to 20 stations, so choose the count your panel has room for. On flow, be candid - AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1, so confirm demanding duties with us. For more flow, step 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, Cv 0.62); for the densest manifolds, compare the 3V2M. Double-acting actuators belong on the 5-port 4V series.
Five points to lock down: port (M5 or 1/8), thread (PT is standard, G and NPT are order options), coil voltage, DIN-plug or flying-lead entry, and the station count. Confirm the fixed initial state on the datasheet as well.

It works from 0-0.8 MPa across -20 to 70 C with IP65 (DIN 40050) protection, and this assembly uses the AC220V coil at 4.5 VA. Other family coils are AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W and DC12V 2.5 W. AirTAC states no Cv or effective area for the 3V1, so verify flow needs with us.
It marks a 1-station series base: one complete valve pre-assembled on the manifold platform that the same family extends from 1 to 20 stations. Starting at 1F keeps the footprint minimal today while leaving a defined path to add positions without replumbing the panel.
