The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCB-11F 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.
The 3V2MNCB-11F is specified normally closed for a reason: until a DC24V coil is energised, its station holds the outlet vented, so no air reaches the actuator. That fail-quiet behaviour suits clamping, holding and interlock duty where valves must not leak through on power loss. Each of the eleven positions carries a direct-acting, single-solenoid, spring-return poppet valve with a DIN plug and a manual override.
All eleven valves share one supply gallery and one wiring run on the common base, and all vents merge into a single centralised exhaust port - convenient when a duct or silencer can be placed at one point. Each flow path is Cv 0.1, sealed by the coaxial poppet construction, and the coil power is 7.0 W per DC station.

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.
NC valves keep downstream lines vented whenever control power drops, so hold-downs release only under an explicit DC24V command.
Eleven spring-return capper actuators across a sample line are switched individually from one manifold with shared filtered air.
Machine builders use the assembly as a compact ON/OFF logic bank, replacing eleven separate body-and-foot-mount valves with one base.
The NC choice here is permanent. AirTAC's dedicated 3V2M base gasket cannot be reversed to swap the initial state, so confirm whether the outlet must vent or pass when de-energised before you order; the NO equivalent is the 3V2MNOB-11F. Then fix the remaining points: DC24V coil, DIN plug entry (flying-lead -I as a code option), 11 stations, centralised exhaust and PT thread - G and NPT are catalogue alternatives.
If a single station moves a larger cylinder, the base limits flow to Cv 0.1; a standalone 3V2 reaches Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in (0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) and a 3V3 reaches Cv 0.62 at 1/4 in (vacuum-rated). Where power draw matters more than flow, the 3V1 runs at just 3.0 W on DC. Double-acting cylinders require the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.

Flow coefficient Cv 0.1 per valve path, pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature range -20 to 70 C, and IP65 protection (DIN 40050). Coils are DC24V at 7.0 W each; AC members of the 3V2M family draw 7 VA. Air must be filtered to 40 um or better.
Every 3/2 station has three ports and two states: it feeds the outlet or vents it. That suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, air blow, clamping and pilot duty. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder, which needs simultaneous pressurise and exhaust - use the AirTAC 4V series there.
