Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M5F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M5F is a genuine 3V2M manifold base for 5 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
- Stations5
- Flow (Cv)0.1
- Series3V2M
- No minimum order. A single piece can be ordered.
- Ready in 3–5 business days. That is the time we take to process the order and hand it to the carrier. Transit time after that depends on the destination.
About the Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M5F
The 3V2M5F is the 5-station manifold block of the AirTAC 3V2M system. It carries five 3/2 solenoid valve bodies on one machined base, feeds them all from a single PT1/8 air supply, and gives the whole group one shared electrical entry point instead of five separate ones. Because one centralised exhaust port serves all stations, the piping on the machine is shorter and tidier than it would be with five individual valves.
This listing is the base only. There is no coil, no solenoid, no voltage and no initial state on this part - those properties belong to the 3V2M valve bodies you order separately, and any mix of NC and NO bodies can be fitted across the five positions. If five stations are not enough, the same family runs from 1F up to 20F, so the manifold can grow with the machine.

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 3V2M5F Is Used
Multi-clamp machining fixture
A milling fixture with five single-acting swing clamps is wired and plumbed once through this base. One supply line reaches all clamps, and a fault can be isolated by swapping a single body off the block instead of tracing five separate valve installations.
Leak-test station on a lab bench
An electronics test rig uses several small blow-off and venting points at 3/2 duty. The centralised exhaust keeps the bench piping simple, and bodies can be mixed NC and NO so each test step vents or pressurises exactly as the sequence requires.
Packaging line reject and stopper gates
A cartoning line drives spring-return stopper pins and reject gates from one manifold. Five stations cover the whole section, the shared wiring entry shortens the cable run along the frame, and expansion to a longer base is possible if the line grows.
Is the Airtac 3V2M-F Base 3V2M5F the Right Part?
Choose this base when a machine needs five 3/2 valve functions in one compact block with one supply line. The 3V2M system trades a little flow for density: valve bodies mounted on it flow at Cv 0.1, because the air path runs through the base. If any single station needs more flow, fit an individually-ported 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, Cv 0.19 at 1/4 in) or step that function up to a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in) - both are also vacuum-rated, which the 3V2M manifold is not. Where power draw matters more than flow, the 3V1 family runs at just 3.0 W DC.
Match five things before ordering: the number of positions (5 here), the exhaust style (centralised on this code; pick a D-code base if each station must vent separately), the valve bodies (ordered separately, NC or NO fixed at order - the state cannot be changed afterwards), the thread (PT is standard; G and NPT are order options), and the wiring entry on the valves (DIN plug or flying lead). Double-acting cylinders need a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve, not this 3-port system.
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 3V2M5F FAQ
The 3V2M5F itself is a machined manifold block: 5 positions, centralised exhaust, PT1/8 supply port, PT thread as standard (G and NPT available to order). The 3V2M valve bodies that mount on it are rated Cv 0.1, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, coil power AC 7 VA / DC 7.0 W, protection IP65 (DIN 40050), with air filtered to 40 um and no lubrication required. Bodies and coils are ordered separately.
Centralised exhaust means all five stations vent through one shared port, which reduces piping and keeps the machine layout clean - ideal when exhaust air can be routed together. If individual stations must vent independently (for example to avoid back-pressure between functions), choose the 3V2M5FD independent-exhaust base instead. One caution for the power budget: on DC24V each fitted valve body draws 7.0 W, so five bodies energised together draw about 35 W - size the supply for the fully populated worst case.
