The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCB-8FD 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-8FD pairs eight normally closed 3/2 valve bodies with an 8FD base whose D suffix gives every station its own exhaust port. Instead of sharing one silenced outlet, each valve vents where you pipe it - through its own silencer, into a collector, or to a safe area - which also makes a leaking or stuck station easy to isolate by ear or by hose.
Valves are direct-acting, single solenoid, spring return, coaxial shut-off; outlets stay vented until each DC24V DIN plug coil is energised. Eight coils at 7.0 W total 56 W, near 2.3 A at 24 V with all on. Flow is Cv 0.1 per stage, pressure 0-0.8 MPa, IP65. PT1/8 thread standard; G and NPT are order options.

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.
Pipe each NC valve discharge from reagent-handling actuators into a dedicated extraction line, one port per station.
Eight NC valves drive spring-return grippers and box pushers; independent exhaust keeps each zone discharge clear of sensors.
Vent each test fixture separately after a pressure hold, so a failing unit is heard at its own exhaust port.
Pick the -8FD over the -8F when vent routing matters: oil mist capture, hot or corrosive exhaust, or simple per-station diagnostics. Otherwise the sizing logic is the same - Cv 0.1 per station, so move a flow-hungry point to an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62 at 1/4 in), and use 3V1 at 3.0 W DC where power is tight.
Lock in five parameters when ordering: NC state, DC24V, DIN plug entry, 8 stations, independent exhaust. The initial state is fixed for the life of the valve and cannot be converted in the field. Double-acting cylinders are outside 3/2 scope - specify the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Eight NC 3/2 direct-acting poppet valves, DIN plug DC24V coils, on an 8-station base with independent exhaust. Cv 0.1 per station, 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), -20 to 70 C, 7.0 W per coil, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports. Air filtered to 40 um or finer; lubrication not required.
Choose independent (D) when discharge must be piped, silenced or captured per station, or when you want to trace a faulty valve by its own exhaust. Choose centralised for one shared port and fewer fittings. Either way the NC initial state is fixed at purchase and cannot be swapped later.
