Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-PC12
The AirTAC Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-PC12 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 pc12 connection code (confirm from datasheet). It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-PC12
DMSGS-PC12 belongs to AirTAC's DMS range of electronic cylinder switches. It detects the magnet in the piston of a cylinder ordered with the magnet option and reports the end position through a PNP 3-wire output. Supply voltage is 5-30 V DC, the housing is rated IP64, and the wiring token C12 is a connection code we will verify from the datasheet rather than guess.
Because the sensing element is solid-state, the output state changes cleanly with no reed chatter - useful on machines where a false pulse would trip an interlock. The S after the profile letter is one more factory variant outside our decoded data; we can confirm it on request. Note that the G profile is a groove-fit code: it has to match the sensor groove of your cylinder, so check the series with us first.

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-PC12 Is Used
Bottling line gate position
Clipped to the gate cylinder between filler and capper, the switch confirms the lane is blocked or open before the next bottle train is released.
Telescopic conveyor extension
The PNP output tells the controller that the extend cylinder on a telescopic boom conveyor has reached the dock, before the transfer belt is allowed to run.
Welding fixture clamp check
Two clamps per fixture, each with a switch, give the robot a go/no-go signal that both jaws have closed - a solid-state output keeps false pulses out of the interlock chain.
Is the Airtac DMSGS Electronic Sensor DMSGS-PC12 the Right Switch?
This is the PNP 3-wire choice for PLC inputs that read a sourcing sensor; NPN models exist for sinking cards. Electronic DMS switching avoids the contact bounce and finite life of a reed switch, while a CMS reed would be the route if your circuit runs on AC up to 240 V. Our data does not decode the C12 connection code - settle it from the datasheet. If the machine sees washdown, specify the -RW IP68 build instead, and always match the G profile to the sensor groove of a magnet-equipped 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-PC12 FAQ
DMSGS-PC12 is a solid-state electronic sensor with a PNP 3-wire output running on 5-30 V DC, housed to IP64, with the C12 connection code pending datasheet confirmation.
Both. The G profile must match the sensor groove of your cylinder series - send us the series and we will verify the fit - and the piston must carry the built-in magnet option, otherwise the switch has nothing to detect.
