About the AirTAC DMSE
The AirTAC DMSE is a solid-state cylinder sensor in the E profile: its transistor output turns on when the piston magnet passes. With no moving contact it switches up to 1000 times per second and has reverse polarity and surge absorption protection. An LED shows when it is on.
It fits AirTAC SE/BSE32-125, SAI/TSAI32-100, SAI125-200, ACE12-125 and JSI32-125 cylinders. It has a high-flex cable and is rated IP64; it works at -10 to +70 °C.

Where the DMSE Is Used
End-of-stroke sensing
Signals when the piston reaches either end, so the next step can start.
Mid-stroke positions
Slide the sensor along the slot to detect any intermediate position.
PLC and relay inputs
Wires straight to a PLC input or relay with two or three wires.
Choosing the Right DMSE Configuration
Choose the output: 2-wire; 3-wire NPN (N); 3-wire PNP (P). The 2-wire type runs on 10 to 28 V DC at 2.5 to 100 mA and wires in series with the load like a reed switch; the 3-wire NPN (sinking) and PNP (sourcing) types run on 5 to 30 V DC at up to 200 mA. Match NPN or PNP to your PLC input.
Choose the connection: 2 m lead (020); 3 m lead (030); 5 m lead (050); 10 m lead (100); M8 connector, 0.5 m lead (M08). The M8 and M12 versions end in a male quick connector; the female cable (F-EC, for example F-ECM08B020 for M8, 2-core, 2 m) is ordered separately.
Wiring: 2-wire brown (+) and blue (-); 3-wire brown (+), black (output) and blue (-).
AirTAC DMSE FAQ
AirTAC SE/BSE32-125, SAI/TSAI32-100, SAI125-200, ACE12-125 and JSI32-125 cylinders.
2-wire: 10 to 28 V DC, 2.5 to 100 mA. 3-wire NPN or PNP: 5 to 30 V DC, up to 200 mA.
020, 030, 050 and 100 are fixed leads of 2, 3, 5 and 10 m. M08 and M12 are an M8 or M12 male quick connector on a 0.5 m lead; M08010, M08020 and M08030 (M12010 to M12030) put it on a 1, 2 or 3 m lead. The female cable is ordered separately.
No. You can order a single piece. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
