Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4FD
The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4FD 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 3V2M4FD
The D in 3V2M4FD changes where the air goes after the valve: instead of one shared exhaust tee, each of the four stations has its own exhaust port on the block. On a machine where one function blows chips clear, another vents a gripper and a third releases a clamp into a guarded area, per-station venting keeps every discharge where it belongs and stops one function's back-pressure from disturbing another.
The block itself is just a manifold - no coil, no voltage, no NC/NO state and no IP rating, all of that being carried by the 3V2M valve bodies ordered separately onto it. NC and NO valves can sit side by side on the same base, so a normally-open vent function and a normally-closed clamp function can share one supply. Ports are PT1/8 and the assembly is rated 0-0.8 MPa, -20 to 70 C.

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 3V2M4FD Is Used
Conveyor stopper pins
Four stopper and guide-pin actuators along a conveyor line each vent at their own location, so discharging one pin does not blast product at the neighbouring station.
Guard gate and safety dump
A machine guard gate lock, a latched interlock and two clamps sit on one block, with the safety-related function exhausting at its own port away from general vent noise.
Sorting ejector bank
Fast air-jet ejectors on a packaging sorter benefit from independent exhausts, since shared venting between four rapid-fire jets would cause pressure spikes and mis-ejections.
Is the Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M4FD the Right Part?
Choose the 4FD over the plain 4F when the four functions need separate vent points rather than a common duct. The flow caveat still applies: through-base routing gives each valve Cv 0.1, so for a high-flow station move that function to an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, Cv 0.19 at 1/4 in, and vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in, vacuum-rated); low-power duties can drop to 3V1 at 3.0 W DC. Double-acting cylinders are a 5-port job - use the AirTAC 4V series.
Order each valve with its own initial state (NC or NO, fixed at purchase - the base gasket cannot be flipped to convert it), coil voltage and electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead I), then confirm the four stations, the independent exhaust and the thread. PT is standard on the family; G and NPT are available 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 3V2M4FD FAQ
Four stations, each with its own independent exhaust port; PT1/8 ports; 0-0.8 MPa operating pressure; -20 to 70 C. The seated valves are Cv 0.1 3/2 poppet units drawing AC 7 VA or DC 7.0 W per coil with IP65 (DIN 40050) bodies - these are valve ratings, so confirm them against the valve codes you order, not the base.
Yes - the base does not impose a state, so a NO valve (passing air until energised) and an NC valve (sealed until energised) can share the same four-station block, supplied and wired together. Just specify the state per valve when ordering, because it cannot be changed afterwards by flipping the base gasket or any other field modification.
