AirTAC 3V100M-16 3V-F Base (3V100M16F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V100M-16 3V-F Base (3V100M16F) is a genuine 3V-F manifold base manifold base for 16 stations on one shared air supply. A base is a machined block: it carries no coil and no solenoid, so the valves that sit on it are ordered separately.

About the AirTAC 3V100M-16 3V-F Base (3V100M16F)
The 3V100M16F is the 16-station member of the AirTAC 3V100M manifold base range. Sixteen 3/2 solenoid valves mount shoulder to shoulder on one machined block and draw from one shared supply port. The block has no coil and therefore no voltage, no state and no power consumption of its own.
You are buying a genuine AirTAC base; the valves that occupy its stations are ordered separately. The family behind it covers normally closed and normally open operation, five coil voltages (AC220V, DC24V, AC110V, AC24V, DC12V) and both DIN plug and flying-lead entries. Where this page stops, the datasheet continues - request the valve figures through an RFQ and we will confirm them.

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 3V100M-16 3V-F Base (3V100M16F) Is Used
Pallet and parcel handling
A palletising cell where gate cylinders and part-ejection functions on several lanes are each driven by their own 3/2 valve.
Laboratory automation
An automated lab bench that must switch air to individual chambers or actuators station by station from a common feed.
Woodworking jigs
A joinery jig with multiple spring-return hold-down clamps, one valve per clamp, all mounted on a single block.
Is the AirTAC 3V100M-16 3V-F Base (3V100M16F) the Right Part?
Match the base to your station count first - 16 positions here, with other station counts in the same 3V100M range. Then choose each valve: state (NC gives no outlet air until energised, NO behaves the reverse), port (M5, 1/8in, 1/4in or 3/8in, larger suiting larger actuators), coil voltage (fixed at order time, matching your panel) and entry style.
Because we do not carry published flow data for this valve family, ask us to verify sizing against your cylinders before ordering. If a fully specified 3-port valve is needed without delay, the documented 3V2 and 3V3 bodies publish flow and coil power. A double-acting cylinder calls for the AirTAC 4V series instead.
Confirm before you order
- ✓ Port size and thread (PT from stock; G / NPT to order)
- ✓ Initial state — NC or NO, ordered up front
- ✓ 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 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 3V100M-16 3V-F Base (3V100M16F) FAQ
Valve pressure range, flow and coil power - the numbers that matter for sizing - are confirmed from the datasheet on request; just send an RFQ with your valve codes. When you need figures published in advance, the 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies are the documented choices.
No. Each of the 16 positions takes its own valve, ordered separately, so one base can mix normally closed and normally open valves, different port sizes, different coil voltages and different entry types. That flexibility is the point of a manifold: one air feed, many distinct functions. For double-acting actuators, spec AirTAC 4V valves rather than 3/2 units.
