Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A8F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A8F 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 3V1M5A8F
Eight 3/2 direct-acting valves, one manifold, one wiring point per coil: the 3V1M5A8F is the densest assembly in this M5 group, built for machines that switch many small air functions in a tight panel. Spring-return single-solenoid operation means each station always settles back to its rest position when power is lost, and the AC220V coils draw 4.5 VA apiece through DIN plug connectors.
AirTAC machines the 3V1 manifold in 1 to 20 stations, and eight is a common choice for multi-clamp jigs and multi-blow panels. M5 ports keep the fitting count small, and the manual override on each valve makes loop-checking a one-person job. This is genuine AirTAC hardware - confirm the fixed initial state of the valve on the datasheet before integration.

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 3V1M5A8F Is Used
Eight-point assembly jig
Runs eight separate spring-return clamps along an automotive sub-assembly jig from a single manifold base.
Bottle rejection blow-off
Knocks reject bottles off a filling-line conveyor with short pulsed air blasts from individual M5 outlets.
Wire-harness crimping cell
Sequences eight strip-and-crimp actuators in a cable-harness cell, each valve wired through its own DIN plug connector.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A8F the Right Part?
Size in both directions: 3V1 is the most compact, lowest-draw 3V body, but with no published flow coefficient you should verify flow-critical jobs with us or choose 3V2 (Cv 0.18-0.19 across 1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). Where you want maximum valves per inch of panel rather than flow, 3V2M is the denser platform. The 3V1M5A8F delivers eight 3/2 stations on one M5 manifold, all AC220V with DIN plugs.
At order time, pin down: M5 or 1/8in port; thread for 1/8in models (PT by default, G or NPT available to order); coil voltage; DIN plug versus flying lead; and the exact station count. If the actuator is a double-acting cylinder, specify the 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 3V1M5A8F FAQ
In one place: 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure, -20 to 70 C media temperature, 4.5 VA per AC220V coil (elsewhere in the range: AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W), IP65 protection to DIN 40050. AirTAC states no Cv or effective area for 3V1, so treat flow as unconfirmed. Feed it air filtered to 40 um or finer; lubrication is unnecessary.
Each station is a 3/2 direct-acting valve with spring return: supply, outlet and exhaust ports, switching a single line between feed and vent. That suits single-acting cylinders, short blow-off pulses, small clamps and pilot signals to bigger valves - but not double-acting cylinders, which need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series. The valve is supplied in a single fixed initial state, so confirm it on the datasheet.
