Airtac DMSHS Electronic Sensor DMSHS-050
The AirTAC Airtac DMSHS Electronic Sensor DMSHS-050 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 5 m flying lead. It only works on a cylinder that carries a piston magnet.

About the Airtac DMSHS Electronic Sensor DMSHS-050
The DMSHS-050 is an AirTAC DMS-series electronic position switch with a solid-state 2-wire output. It seats in the sensor groove of an AirTAC cylinder built with the magnet option and signals when the piston reaches it. Power it from 10-28 V DC; the housing is IP64 and the 050 wiring code means a 5 m flying lead you can cut back to suit.
With no moving contact there is no bounce, so the switch handles fast, repetitive cycling into a controller without contact wear. The H profile is a groove-fit code rather than a grade - match it to your cylinder body before ordering. The trailing S in the type code is a factory variant we will confirm from the datasheet on request.

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 DMSHS Electronic Sensor DMSHS-050 Is Used
Packaging machine end-of-stroke
Mounted on a horizontal cartoner cylinder, the 2-wire output confirms the pusher has fully extended before the sealing head cycles.
Divert gate confirmation
Clipped to the gate cylinder above a sorting conveyor, the switch reports gate-home to the PLC so parcels never go down the wrong lane.
Clamp verification on a fixture
On a machining fixture, the 5 m lead reaches the control cabinet and proves both clamps are seated before spindle start is released.
Is the Airtac DMSHS Electronic Sensor DMSHS-050 the Right Switch?
Choose this electronic type over a reed switch when your supply is DC and the duty cycle is high; the CMS reed family instead covers AC circuits up to 240 V. Being 2-wire, it drops into the load in series, much like a mechanical contact, with only small leakage current. Five metres of lead suits distant cabinets; where you want tool-free service swaps, take an M8 or M12 connector version. IP64 covers dry factory air - pick the -RW build for IP68 washdown. Order the switch only alongside a magnet-fitted cylinder, and check the profile against the groove.
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 DMSHS Electronic Sensor DMSHS-050 FAQ
It is an electronic (solid-state) switch with a 2-wire output, powered from 10-28 V DC, protected to IP64, and fitted with a 5 m flying lead. Exact load limits are in the datasheet.
Yes. The switch only sees a piston that carries the built-in magnet, so the cylinder must be ordered with the magnet option. Also match the H profile to the cylinder's sensor groove - the letter is a fit code, not a quality level.
