The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-6F 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.
Six normally closed 3/2 valves ride on one 6-station 3V2M base in the 3V2MNCF-6F, all fed from a single supply port and wired through one DIN-plug run. With every DC12V coil at 7.0 W energised, the panel pulls about 42 W, roughly 3.5 A at 12 V - a figure worth checking against your supply before the build. Until energised, each NC outlet is closed and vented to the common exhaust.
Exhaust is centralised, so all six stations vent through the base shared port rather than individual outlets - fewer fittings, a tidier panel, and one place to fit a silencer. The direct-acting coaxial poppet valves carry a manual override for setup work.

|---|---|
| 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. |
| DC12V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |

| PT | Port thread. PT ships from stock; G and NPT are available to order. |
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.
Every clamp on the press frame is a spring-return cylinder; six NC valves release or grip each nest under PLC control from one manifold.
The vehicle 12 V system powers the coils directly, and the centralised exhaust keeps the exterior piping to a minimum.
Each 3/2 valve sends pilot air to a larger process valve on the skid, with one shared supply simplifying the panel.
Confirm the six-point match before ordering: NC state, DC12V, DIN plug entry, 6 stations, centralised exhaust and PT thread (G and NPT are orderable options). NC is fixed at manufacture and cannot be converted later - flipping the dedicated base gasket does not change the state, so order the state you need. At Cv 0.1 per station this assembly trades flow for density; circuits needing more air belong on individual 3V2 valves (Cv 0.18 at 1/8, 0.19 at 1/4, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62 at 1/4, vacuum-rated). Keep 3V1 (3.0 W DC) for low-power circuits, and use the AirTAC 4V series for any double-acting cylinder.
Confirm before you order
Six NC 3/2 valves, DC12V coils at 7.0 W each (42 W, about 3.5 A with all six on), Cv 0.1 per station, 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports, centralised exhaust, 40 um air filtration.
Bases run from 1F to 20F. This 6-station assembly draws 7.0 W per DC valve, so plan the 12 V supply for the worst case with every station energised - about 42 W here - plus margin. A fully populated 20-station DC panel would need roughly 140 W.
