The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCB-10F is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/8 in 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.
This 3V2MNCB-10F arrives as a complete 10-station manifold: ten 3/2 normally closed valves mounted on one 3V2M base, each coil rated DC24V with a DIN plug connection, all ports PT1/8. Every valve is direct-acting with a single solenoid and spring return, built on a coaxial poppet that either feeds its outlet or vents it to the centralised exhaust port. A manual override on each body helps during set-up.
Do the electrical maths before choosing a power supply: each DC24V coil draws 7.0 W, so a 10-station assembly with all valves energised at once needs about 70 W, close to 2.9 A at 24 V. Sizing the supply for that all-on worst case prevents brown-outs on densely populated panels. With supply and wiring shared across the base, a fault can be isolated station by station instead of chasing ten separate hook-ups.

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.
Each single-acting spring-return clamp cylinder sits on its own station, fed with DC24V switching and vented back through one centralised exhaust port.
Pusher cylinders across ten sortation lanes switch in sequence from one manifold, with one air supply and one wiring harness to maintain.
An on/off air jet at each of ten machining positions clears chips between cycles; NC logic keeps every jet closed when the panel is powered down.
Match five points before ordering: initial state (NC here - the outlet stays vented until the coil is energised), coil voltage (DC24V), electrical entry (DIN plug; a flying-lead -I version exists), station count (10F) and exhaust routing (centralised; add -D for independent). Thread is PT as standard on this family, with G and NPT available to order. Note that NC and NO are fixed at purchase: the dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped to change state, so a NO assembly must be ordered as such.
Flow is the trade-off for manifold density: each path is Cv 0.1 because air runs through the base. Step up to an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) where one station needs more flow, or drop to 3V1 (3.0 W DC) for low-power light duty. If any actuator is double-acting, it needs a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve, not this 3/2 series.
Confirm before you order
Each valve path is Cv 0.1 (a flow coefficient, not a flow rate). Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), media temperature -20 to 70 C, and protection IP65 to DIN 40050. The DC24V coils draw 7.0 W each (AC variants of this series draw 7 VA). Ports are PT1/8, medium is air filtered to 40 um or finer, and lubrication is not required.
No. The 3V2M initial state is sealed by a dedicated base gasket, and AirTAC states that reversing that gasket does not change NC to NO. Order the state you need at purchase; if the machine logic calls for air to pass while de-energised, request the 3V2MNOB-10F instead.
