Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-P100-W
The AirTAC Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-P100-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 pnp 3-wire output on 5-30 V DC with a 10 m flying lead. It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-P100-W
The DMSE-P100-W is an AirTAC DMS electronic position switch with a PNP 3-wire output. It is a solid-state sensor, so there is no mechanical contact to bounce or wear out - it simply reports when the magnet in a suitably equipped AirTAC cylinder arrives at its position. Power is 5-30 V DC and the general protection class is IP64. The 100 wiring code means a generous 10 m flying lead reaches distant cabinets without splices.
Because the 3-wire PNP source output gives a clean, high-level signal to a PLC input, it suits long cable paths like this 10 m lead. The trailing -W is a factory special variant that is not fully documented in our data - send us the code and we will confirm its exact meaning from the datasheet. Note that the E profile letter selects how the body seats in the cylinder's sensor groove, so check it against your cylinder before ordering.

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 · PNP 3-wire · 5-30 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-P100-W Is Used
Large gantry loader
A long-stroke gantry on a machining line places its end-of-travel sensor far from the panel; the 10 m flying lead runs the full distance with no joints, and the PNP output feeds the sourcing input of the cell PLC.
Bottling conveyor stop gate
A stop gate cylinder on a bottling conveyor cycles hundreds of times per shift. The solid-state PNP contact gives bounce-free piston detection, and the long lead reaches the overhead control box.
Press die clamp panel
Die clamps on a stamping press signal clamp and release to the safety interlock cabinet. The PNP 3-wire output presents a defined sourcing signal that the input card reads cleanly at 5-30 V DC.
Is the Airtac DMSE Electronic Sensor DMSE-P100-W the Right Switch?
Pick the DMSE-P100-W when your control circuit is DC and your PLC input expects a sourcing (PNP) signal. Solid-state switching has no contact bounce, which matters on fast or frequent cycling. The 10 m flying lead is the right choice when the switch sits far from the panel and you want one continuous run. For washdown or moving cable tracks, compare with a -RW version rated IP68; this unit carries the standard IP64 rating. Remember it only works on a cylinder built with the magnet option, and the E profile must match the groove on that cylinder - confirm the exact fit with us.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Cylinder has a piston magnet
- ✓ Profile letter fits your cylinder groove
- ✓ Output matches the PLC input (PNP 3-wire)
- ✓ Supply rail is 5-30 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 5-30 V DC.
- check Wire pnp 3-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-P100-W FAQ
It is an AirTAC DMS electronic (solid-state) position switch with a PNP 3-wire output. Supply voltage is 5-30 V DC, protection class is IP64 (general type), and the connection is a flying lead 10 m long. The -W suffix is a special factory code we will confirm from the datasheet on request.
A 2-wire electronic switch is wired in series like a mechanical contact and carries a small leakage current, while a 3-wire PNP output sources a clean signal into a PLC sourcing input with no series leakage. On a 10 m lead, that cleaner signal level helps. If your input card instead sinks current, you need the NPN version (DMSE-N...).
