Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-NC08
The AirTAC Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-NC08 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 nc08 connection code (confirm from datasheet). It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-NC08
The DMSGS-NC08 is a solid-state electronic position switch in AirTAC's DMS range. Its NPN 3-wire output sinks current to a DC controller input and signals when the piston magnet of a suitable cylinder passes the switch position. The NC08 token in the wiring position is a factory connection code we do not publish; we will confirm exactly what it is from the datasheet on request. Supply voltage is 5-30 V DC and the general-type housing carries IP64.
Because the output is 3-wire NPN, it pairs naturally with sinking PLC inputs and keeps the logic signal clean over a dedicated line rather than a shared load path. The G profile is a fit code, not a grade: it has to seat in the groove machined for your cylinder body, so send the cylinder series with your enquiry and we will confirm the match before you order.

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-NC08 Is Used
Robotic gripper end-of-stroke
Mounted in the groove of a compact gripper cylinder on a pick-and-place robot arm, the NPN output confirms full jaw closure before the arm rotates.
PLC input verification
On an assembly station driven by a sinking-input controller card, the 3-wire signal gives the logic a clean digital stroke indication without series-wiring the load.
Welding jig clamp confirmation
Fixture cylinders on a welding jig report clamp position to the cell PLC so the robot only fires the torch when both switches read on.
Is the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-NC08 the Right Switch?
Pick this model when your controller expects an NPN (sinking) signal: 3-wire switching gives a crisper edge to a PLC input than a 2-wire unit wired in series with the load. If your input card sources instead, the PNP version of the same body is the right call. The NC08 connection code is not one we can decode from published data, so ask us to verify it against the datasheet before ordering. As with every switch in this class, the cylinder itself must carry the magnet option, and the G profile must agree with the groove on that cylinder.
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-NC08 FAQ
It is an electronic (solid-state) magnetic position switch with an NPN 3-wire output. Supply voltage is 5-30 V DC and the general-type housing is IP64. The wiring position carries the code NC08, which we will confirm from the datasheet on request. It only signals when fitted to a cylinder with the built-in magnet option.
NPN switches the negative side, so the input card must sink current - typical for many Asian-spec PLCs. A sourcing card needs the PNP variant instead. The G profile is not a performance grade; it decides whether the switch physically seats in your cylinder's groove, so match it to the cylinder before ordering.
