The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCB-6FD 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-6FD is a complete six-station manifold assembly: six NC (normally closed) 3/2 valve bodies fitted to a dedicated 6F base with independent exhaust. Each valve is direct-acting, single solenoid with spring return and a coaxial shut-off poppet, so the outlet stays vented until the coil is energised. One shared air feed and one shared wiring run serve the whole block, which keeps cabinet work and fault-finding simple.
Coils are DC24V DIN plug type at 7.0 W each, so a fully energised assembly draws about 42 W, roughly 1.75 A at 24 V - size the supply for that worst case. Flow is Cv 0.1 per station through the base. The NC state is fixed at order time and cannot be converted later by flipping the base gasket or by any other means. PT1/8 is the standard thread; G and NPT are catalogue options to order.

Figures follow the official AirTAC 3V2M catalogue. Confirm coil voltage and thread (PT / NPT / G) against the product label before wiring.
| 3V2M | Body — sets the flow, the coil power and whether vacuum is rated. |
|---|---|
| 1/8 in | Port size. M5, 06 = 1/8 in, 08 = 1/4 in, 10 = 3/8 in. |
| NC | Normally closed: no air at the outlet until the coil is energised. |
| DC24V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |

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.
Six NC valves switch six single-acting gripper cylinders that open on loss of signal; independent exhaust lets each drop zone vent separately.
Each divert or stopper pin gets its own NC valve on one manifold; the shared wiring makes a stuck station quick to trace.
Use one station per pilot valve on a small chemical or water treatment skid, with each exhaust piped to a safe area.
Choose this code when six NC circuits share one air supply and you want each station to vent through its own exhaust port - useful where vented air or oil mist must be captured per station. At Cv 0.1 the 3V2M is the density choice; if one station needs more flow, fit an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in) alongside on the same machine. 3V1 at 3.0 W DC suits very low power duties. Double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
Match five points before ordering: NC initial state, DC24V coil, DIN plug entry, 6-station count, and independent exhaust (D). The state cannot be swapped after purchase - order NC correctly up front. Thread is PT as standard; G and NPT are order options.
Confirm before you order
Six NC 3/2 direct-acting poppet valves on a 6F base. Cv 0.1 per station, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, DC24V coils at 7.0 W each, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports, independent exhaust. Medium is air filtered to 40 um or finer; lubrication is not required.
No. The 3V2M initial state is set by the valve internals at the factory, and the dedicated base gasket does not convert NC to NO when reversed. Order the state you need when you buy; for a normally open function choose the NO variant of the same assembly instead.
