Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-020
The AirTAC Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-020 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 2 m flying lead. It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-020
The DMSGS-020 is an AirTAC DMS-series electronic (solid-state) magnetic position switch in a 2-wire configuration. It clips into the sensor groove of an AirTAC cylinder and signals when the piston carrying the factory magnet option slides past. Supply is 10-28 V DC, the general type is rated IP64, and this version is wired with a 2 m flying lead.
A solid-state element does not bounce, so it suits fast, repetitive cycling where a mechanical reed contact would wear. The G profile letter sets the cylinder-groove fit, and the trailing S in the model code is a factory variant we will confirm from the datasheet - send your cylinder series so we can verify the exact match.

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 | DMSG · 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 DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-020 Is Used
CNC fixture clamp confirmation
Signals that the clamp cylinder on a machining fixture has fully closed, so the control only releases the spindle interlock once the piston magnet passes the switch.
Carton sealer flap tuck check
Mounted on the flap-tuck cylinder of a case packing line; the 2 m lead reaches the adjacent terminal strip without excess slack.
Slide gate on a dry bulk hopper
Confirms open or closed travel of a pneumatic slide gate above a weigh hopper - an indoor, dry-air duty that suits the IP64 general type.
Is the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-020 the Right Switch?
Pick this 2-wire model when you want the switch to wire in series like a mechanical contact - simple, with nothing extra on the machine side. If your PLC input needs a dedicated NPN or PNP signal, step up to a 3-wire DMS version instead. The 2 m lead is the shortest in the range and suits compact machines with a nearby terminal strip; longer runs can take 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, or an M8/M12 connector. Profile G must seat in the matching cylinder groove - confirm the fit against your cylinder series, and order the cylinder with the built-in magnet option so there is something to detect.
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 DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-020 FAQ
It is an electronic (solid-state) switch with a 2-wire output. Supply voltage is 10-28 V DC, ingress protection is IP64 for the general type, and the wiring is a 2 m flying lead. Current, voltage drop and similar limits: confirm from the datasheet.
No. The cylinder must be ordered with the built-in magnet option - the switch only detects that magnet. The G profile must also match the sensor groove of your cylinder series. Send us the series and we will confirm the fit.
