Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-P050
The AirTAC Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-P050 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. It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-P050
DMSGS-P050 is a solid-state electronic position switch in AirTAC's DMS family. It senses the piston magnet inside an AirTAC cylinder that was ordered with the built-in magnet option and switches a PNP 3-wire output. The code breaks down to a G-profile body, a 5 m flying lead, a 5-30 V DC supply and IP64 protection.
A PNP (sourcing) output pulls the PLC input up to positive, so it suits input cards wired for the sinking sensor type - match it to your card before wiring. The letter S sitting after the profile is a factory build variant our data does not define; we will confirm it from the datasheet on request. The G profile itself is a fit code for the cylinder groove, not a performance grade, so verify the seating 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 | 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-P050 Is Used
Packaging machine PLC feedback
On a cartoning line, the switch mounted mid-stroke on the product-push cylinder tells the PLC the ram is home before the next carton indexes - the 5 m lead reaches the junction box without a splice.
Run to a remote control cabinet
The fixed 5 m flying lead suits a cylinder mounted several metres from the electrical cabinet, where cutting a shorter lead or extending a shorter one would add a failure point.
Palletizer gripper confirmation
A PNP sourcing signal feeds the palletizer controller directly, confirming the gripper cylinder has closed before the arm lifts the layer.
Is the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-P050 the Right Switch?
Choose this PNP version when your PLC input card expects a sourcing signal; the 3-wire arrangement gives a cleaner, faster-changing input than a reed contact would. If your card sinks instead, the NPN sibling of this switch is the match. Prefer plug-and-play maintenance? An M8 or M12 connector variant lets you unplug for service, while this 5 m flying lead suits a fixed run to the cabinet. For washdown or moving cable tracks step up to the -RW version with IP68. Whatever you pick, the profile letter has to match the cylinder groove and the cylinder must be ordered with the magnet option.
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-P050 FAQ
It is an electronic (solid-state) switch with a PNP 3-wire output, supplied from 5-30 V DC. Protection is IP64 as a general-type unit, the connection is a 5 m flying lead, and the sensor only works on a cylinder with the built-in magnet option.
That letter sits after the profile code and is a factory variant outside our documentation; quote the part number and we will check its meaning from the datasheet. The G profile itself only sets the groove fit and is not a quality grade.
