Airtac DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-P030
The AirTAC Airtac DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-P030 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 pnp 3-wire output on 5-30 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-P030
AirTAC's DMSH-P030 is an electronic (solid-state) magnetic position switch from the DMS family. Its PNP 3-wire output switches the positive line to your controller, and it detects only the piston of a cylinder ordered with the built-in magnet option. The lead is a 3 m flying cable, the supply window is 5-30 V DC, and protection is IP64 as a general-type unit.
Because the switching element has no mechanical contact, there is no contact bounce to worry about on high-cycle machines. The H in the code fixes the mounting shape - it must seat in the matching sensor groove of your cylinder, so verify the profile against the series you are using. Exact limits such as maximum load current should be read from the datasheet.

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 · PNP 3-wire · 5-30 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-P030 Is Used
CNC clamp confirmation
Mounted on the clamping cylinder of a CNC fixture, the PNP signal confirms the part is clamped before the cycle-start interlock releases.
Gate interlock
Use it on a pneumatic gate or door cylinder so the controller only releases a robot when the gate is fully closed.
Machine-frame run
The 3 m flying lead spans most machine frames to the control cabinet without extensions, keeping the installation simple.
Is the Airtac DMSH Electronic Sensor DMSH-P030 the Right Switch?
Pick a DMS electronic switch when the cycle rate is high and you want a digital, bounce-free signal; pick a CMS reed switch instead if your circuit runs on AC or a very wide voltage window. Within the DMS range, 3-wire PNP suits PLC sourcing inputs, while 2-wire models suit simple relay loops. The 3 m lead covers mid-length runs; an M12 connector version lets you unplug for service. Magnet cylinder required; confirm the H profile fit.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Cylinder has a piston magnet
- ✓ Profile letter fits your cylinder groove
- ✓ Output matches the PLC input (PNP 3-wire)
- ✓ Supply rail is 5-30 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 5-30 V DC.
- check Wire pnp 3-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-P030 FAQ
Type: electronic solid-state. Output: PNP 3-wire. Supply voltage: 5-30 V DC. Protection: IP64. Wiring: 3 m flying lead. It needs a magnet-equipped cylinder to sense anything.
The 3-wire PNP version feeds a defined positive signal to the PLC input card, so polarity and card type must match. A 2-wire switch sits in series with the load like a mechanical contact. If your machine is washed down, the -RW variant adds IP68 protection.
