Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4F is a genuine 3V2M manifold base for 4 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.
- Valve type3/2-way (3-port, 2-position)
- Port size1/8 in
- Stations4
- Flow (Cv)0.1
- Series3V2M
About the Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4F
Four functions on one machined block: the 3V2M4F takes four 3V2M 3/2 valve bodies, feeds them all from a single supply, and sends every station's discharge to one centralised exhaust port. For a control panel builder, that means four valves to wire at one common connection point and one exhaust line to pipe - fewer fittings, fewer leak points, faster commissioning.
As with every 3V2M base, this block itself has no coil, no voltage and no initial state; those live in the valve bodies, which are ordered separately in any NC/NO and voltage mix. A practical planning note: DC valves draw 7.0 W each, so a fully energised four-station build pulls about 28 W, and the same arithmetic scales up across the family - a full 20-station base reaches roughly 140 W, close to 6 A at 24 V, so size the supply for the worst case.

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 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4F Is Used
Bottling line capper
Cap feed, bottle clamp, turret lift and reject punch on a small capper all run from one 4-station block, with a single exhaust ducted out of the filling zone.
Process valve piloting
Four 3/2 valves on one manifold act as pilot-interposing valves for larger pneumatic process valves, sharing one supply and one common vent line in a control cabinet.
Pneumatic test bench
A calibration bench with four alternated functions - apply, hold, release, purge - keeps its switching valves on one block so the technician rewires nothing between tests.
Is the Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4F the Right Part?
Use this four-station base when circuit density and one shared exhaust matter more than per-station flow. Each valve carries Cv 0.1; if a single function needs more, fit a stand-alone 3V2 at that station's job (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, Cv 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) for the highest flow in the 3V range, and keep 3V1 (3.0 W DC) for low-power duties. Double-acting cylinders require a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series.
Before ordering, fix the five-way match: initial state per valve (NC or NO - not convertible after purchase, and reversing the base gasket will not do it), coil voltage per valve, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead I), the four-station count, and the exhaust type - centralised here, independent on the 4FD code. PT is the standard thread; G and NPT are catalogue options to order.
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 Stay within 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure.
- 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 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4F FAQ
Four-station 3V2M manifold base, PT1/8 ports, centralised exhaust, 0-0.8 MPa working pressure, -20 to 70 C. Valves fitted on top are Cv 0.1 direct-acting 3/2 poppet units with AC 7 VA / DC 7.0 W coils and IP65 (DIN 40050) protection - all of which are valve properties, not base properties.
No. A 3/2 valve has three ports and only feeds or vents one outlet, which suits single-acting (spring-return) cylinders, clamps, blow-off and pilot duty. A double-acting cylinder needs two outlet ports alternating between pressure and exhaust, so specify a 5/2 valve from the AirTAC 4V series for that job.
