Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030-W
The AirTAC Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030-W 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-W
The DMSE-030-W combines AirTAC's electronic solid-state DMS switch, a 2-wire output, a 3 m flying lead and a 10-28 V DC supply in an IP64 enclosure. Clipped into the sensor groove of a magnet-equipped AirTAC cylinder, it closes its circuit as the magnetised piston arrives at the set point.
Its defining letter is the trailing W, a factory variant code not defined in our catalogue data - we will state precisely what it alters once we check the datasheet, and we quote IP64 in the meantime rather than guessing at a higher rating. The E profile letter selects the groove fit, so line it up with your cylinder series before purchase.

We do not hold the full profile-to-cylinder-series table, so confirm the profile letter against your cylinder model before ordering — send us the cylinder part number and we will check the fit.
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-W Is Used
High-cycle ejector station
Sorting systems that eject parts hundreds of times a minute favour the solid-state output, since a reed contact would bounce and wear under that duty.
Pallet-handling stopper
On transfer-car or stopper cylinders in a pallet conveyor system, the 3 m lead reaches the control cabinet mounted at the end of the conveyor section.
Test rig position logging
Leak and function test rigs log cylinder positions via these switches; the 2-wire series connection feeds a monitoring relay without loading the measurement circuit.
Is the Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-030-W the Right Switch?
Order the DMSE-030-W when your BOM names this variant of the 3 m, 2-wire DMS switch; otherwise the standard DMSE-030 delivers the same 10-28 V DC, IP64 package. For confirmed waterproof, oil-resistant and flex-resistant construction at IP68, ask for the -RW version instead of relying on the W. Fit profile E to the matching cylinder groove, keep the supply within 10-28 V DC, and remember the cylinder must be ordered with the built-in magnet option for the switch to detect anything.
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-W FAQ
Electronic (solid-state) type, 2-wire output, 10-28 V DC supply, IP64 housing, 3 m flying lead, profile E fit code. The W suffix is an undocumented factory variant we will confirm from the datasheet. Electrical limits such as maximum switching current: confirm from the datasheet.
Electrically they share the 2-wire output, the 10-28 V DC supply, IP64 protection and the 3 m lead. The only difference on paper is the trailing W, whose effect our published data does not define - we will verify it with AirTAC before your order is confirmed.
