Airtac DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-030
The AirTAC Airtac DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-030 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 3 m flying lead. It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-030
DMSH-030 belongs to AirTAC's DMS family of solid-state electronic switches. Because there is no output letter in the code, it is the 2-wire version: it sits in series with your load just like a passive contact and draws its 10-28 V DC supply through that same circuit. The housing is rated IP64 and the 3 m flying lead gives comfortable routing distance. Its job is to detect the piston magnet inside an AirTAC cylinder that was ordered with the magnet option.
A useful difference from a reed switch: with no mechanical contact inside, this electronic unit does not bounce and tolerates fast, repeated cycling over a long service life. The profile letter H is a mounting-fit code that must line up with the groove on your cylinder - share the cylinder series with us and we will confirm the match before purchase.

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 | DMSH · 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 DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-030 Is Used
End-of-stroke on a conveyor gate
A pneumatic gate that diverts cartons on a packaging conveyor signals full-open with this switch, its 3 m lead reaching the panel above the line.
Assembly press confirmation
On a bench assembly press, the two-wire contact in series proves the ram cylinder reached bottom stroke before the operator releases the start interlock.
Slide positioning on a linear unit
A linear slide carrying a vision camera uses the switch to mark the home position, with the 3 m cable dressed along the machine frame to the controller.
Is the Airtac DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-030 the Right Switch?
This 3 m lead version suits panels that sit a metre or two from the cylinder. Keep it 2-wire if you simply need to power an indicator or relay; pick a DMS NPN or PNP 3-wire type if a PLC input card needs a clean, polarity-defined signal. Supply is 10-28 V DC and protection is IP64. It only works on a magnet-equipped cylinder, and the H profile has to match the cylinder's sensor groove - we can verify both once you name the series.
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 DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-030 FAQ
Type: electronic (solid-state) magnetic switch. Output: 2-wire. Supply: 10-28 V DC. Protection: IP64 general type. Wiring: 3 m flying lead. It detects the piston magnet of a suitable AirTAC cylinder and nothing else.
Solid-state means no mechanical contact, so there is no contact bounce and the unit handles frequent cycling well. A reed switch trades that for a wider AC/DC voltage range - choose by what your control circuit actually needs.
