The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5B13F 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.
The AirTAC 3V1M5B13F brings thirteen 3/2 spring-return solenoid valves together on one M5 manifold base. Each position is direct-acting: energise the coil to switch the flow path, de-energise and the spring returns it. Use it to feed or vent single-acting actuators, air jets, clamps or a pilot line.
The DC24V coils use DIN plug entry and are sealed to IP65 (DIN 40050), so the bank suits dusty cabinet environments. A manual override on every station speeds up set-up and fault-finding. Each valve ships in one fixed initial state - verify it on the datasheet.

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.
Air jets that clear lint and thread breaks on a spinning or weaving line switch individually, one valve position per jet.
Thirteen single-acting clamp cylinders on an assembly jig sequence from one manifold, venting to exhaust on release.
The DIN plug entry and IP65 coils suit a control cabinet where each station pilots a larger process valve.
The 3V1 body trades flow for size and coil economy, and its catalogue lists no flow coefficient, so confirm any flow-sensitive duty with us before committing. Need more per valve? Step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). If packing stations tightly is the priority over flow, compare the 3V2M manifold family. Driving a double-acting cylinder? That requires a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series.
For the 3V1M5B13F, confirm: M5 port face, DC24V coil, DIN plug entry, thirteen stations on the shared base, and the factory initial state (stated on the datasheet). We can quote any count from 1F to 20F, or single valves.
Confirm before you order
Per station: 3/2 direct-acting, single solenoid with spring return; 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure; -20 to 70 C; IP65 (DIN 40050). The DC24V coil takes 3.0 W, versus AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA or DC12V 2.5 W elsewhere in the 3V1 family. There is no published Cv or effective area for 3V1.
The 3V1 manifold concept runs from 1F to 20F on a shared base; this SKU is thirteen stations, and other counts or individual valves can be ordered. Each position is a 3/2 valve: three ports, two states, feeding or venting one line - so it suits single-acting cylinders, blow nozzles and pilot duty, not double-acting actuators (use the AirTAC 4V series there).
