Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030
The AirTAC Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030 is a genuine DMS magnetic position switch. It senses the magnet ring in a pneumatic cylinder's piston and signals when the piston reaches that point, giving a 2-wire output on 10-28 V DC with a 3 m flying lead. It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030
The DMSE-030 is AirTAC's electronic solid-state position switch with a 3 m flying lead. Mounted in the sensor groove of a magnet-equipped AirTAC cylinder, it switches its 2-wire output when the piston with the built-in magnet passes the set position. Supply range is 10-28 V DC and the housing carries an IP64 rating.
The extra metre of lead over the 2 m version matters in practice: it lets you route the cable away from hot machine sections and moving parts to a safer termination point. Profile E sets which cylinder groove this clip fits - check the letter against your cylinder series, as the mapping is not published here.

Which Family Do You Need?
- DMSElectronic, 2-wire / NPN / PNP, DC
- EMSMini electronic, 2-wire only, DC
- CMSReed contact, 2-wire, 5-240 V AC/DC
The split is electrical, not quality. Solid-state DMS and EMS are DC-only and suit modern PLC inputs; the reed-based CMS switches a much wider window, so it is the one for AC circuits, relay logic and older panels. The RW (IP68) option exists on DMS and EMS only.
| This switch | DMSE · 2-wire · 10-28 V DC |
|---|---|
| Consider EMS | the mini 2-wire electronic switch for tight installations |
| Consider CMS | the reed alternative for AC circuits and voltages up to 240 V |
| Mounting parts | F-MQ (round body), F-ACT (tie-rod) |
Where the Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030 Is Used
Press feed slide
On the feed-slide cylinders of a mechanical press, the 3 m lead routes the signal down and away from the hot tooling area to the terminal strip below the bed.
Assembly cell clamp array
Multiple clamp cylinders in a robotic assembly cell each carry a groove-mounted switch; the longer leads reach a shared cable trunk without extra jointing.
Cable track on a gantry
Where the switch rides on a moving axis, the spare lead length lets the cable form a proper loop in the energy chain, reducing flex stress at the switch body.
Is the Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030 the Right Switch?
Pick the DMSE-030 when a 2 m lead will not reach your junction box or when you want slack for dressing the cable around guards. The switch stays a 2-wire, series-wired device on a 10-28 V DC supply; if your controller needs a clean dedicated signal line, compare the 3-wire NPN or PNP DMS models. Cut the lead to length on installation. Match profile E to the cylinder groove and confirm the cylinder has the magnet option - without the magnet, the switch stays silent.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Cylinder has a piston magnet
- ✓ Profile letter fits your cylinder groove
- ✓ Output matches the PLC input (2-wire)
- ✓ Supply rail is 10-28 V DC
- ✓ Lead length or M8 / M12 connector
- ✓ Coolant or flexing? Use the RW version
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check The cylinder must carry a piston magnet — a plain cylinder cannot be sensed.
- check Slide the switch along the groove to the stop position, then lock it.
- check Keep the supply within 10-28 V DC.
- check Wire 2-wire to match the PLC input's polarity.
- check Keep the lead clear of moving parts; use the RW type where it must flex.
- check Rated IP64 — protect it beyond that rating.
Use the F-MQ bracket on round-body cylinders and F-ACT on tie-rod cylinders where there is no groove to seat the switch. Both are ordered separately from the switch. Switching distance and mounting dimensions come from the factory datasheet — ask us for the sheet that matches your cylinder.
Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030 FAQ
An electronic (solid-state) switch, 2-wire output, 10-28 V DC supply voltage, IP64 protection and a 3 m flying lead. Switching current, response time and sensing distance are not published here - confirm those from the datasheet.
It is a specification choice with real benefit: the extra length lets you terminate the cable clear of heat, coolant spray and moving mechanism, and trim off the surplus. It is not a stock or delivery statement - it is how the switch is built.
