Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A4F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A4F 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 3V1M5A4F
Four valves, one shared supply and one order code: the AirTAC 3V1M5A4F is a 4-station manifold of 3/2 direct-acting solenoid valves with M5 ports and spring-return, single-coil operation. Each station feeds or vents a single line, so it drives single-acting cylinders, clamps, short blow pulses or pilot duty. The AC220V DIN-plug coils are rated IP65 (DIN 40050), protecting the electrics against dust and splash in most factory environments.
Because the valves share a common base, panel drilling and tubing drop sharply compared with four loose bodies. A manual override on each station helps you jog the machine during set-up, and 1F to 20F station counts are available if four is not the right number.

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 3V1M5A4F Is Used
Lab autosampler valves
Drives spring-return sampling cylinders on a laboratory autosampler, where four M5 stations fit behind a compact chassis panel.
Benchtop marking stamp
Controls the clamp-and-blow sequence of a small stamping unit, with the manual override used while tooling is being set.
Pilot duty on a beverage filler
Provides pilot air to larger diaphragm valves dosing flavouring on a filling line, all four valves fed from one M5 manifold.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A4F the Right Part?
Start by checking the duty: 3V1 has no published Cv or effective area, so for flow-critical circuits ask us to size it, or move up to the 3V2 (Cv 0.18-0.19, 1/8in and 1/4in ports, NC or NO selectable, and rated for vacuum) or the 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). If you need many stations but not much flow, 3V2M is built for dense manifolds. Your 3V1M5A4F comes as a 4-station M5 manifold with 4.5 VA AC220V coils and DIN sockets.
Five things to lock down at order time: M5 vs 1/8in port, thread type on 1/8in versions (PT standard, G or NPT to order), supply voltage, DIN plug or flying-lead entry, and station count. Driving a double-acting cylinder? That takes a 5-port valve - the AirTAC 4V series.
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 3V1M5A4F FAQ
This 4-station manifold runs at 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) and -20 to 70 C. Each AC220V coil takes 4.5 VA; across the 3V1 range AC110V is 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W and DC12V 2.5 W. The coil housing is rated IP65 (DIN 40050). AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for 3V1 - ask us before sizing a flow-sensitive circuit. Supply air filtered to 40 um or finer; the valve needs no lubrication.
Yes. AirTAC manufactures the 3V1 manifold format from 1F to 20F, so a different station count is simply a different order code. Valves mount in series on the shared base, which saves panel space, and each carries a manual override to help during installation and commissioning. Accessories such as the 3V1-P30 connecting-screw base set, 3V1-P31 O-rings with long screws and 3V1-P32 mounting brackets support the build.
