RTY Series Hall Effect Rotary Position Sensors

The Honeywell Sensing RTY series Hall Effect rotary position sensors provide non-contact sensing in harsh transportation and industrial applications at a competitive cost. These shaft-activated products are available in two versions: an integral shaft with or without a lever. The lever may allow customers to reduce the number of mechanical linkages required for their applications, which may reduce the cost of the overall customer solution.

These products use a magnetically biased, Hall Effect integrated circuit (IC) to sense rotary movement of the actuator over a set operating range. Rotation of the actuator changes the magnet's position relative to the IC. The resulting flux density change is converted to a linear output. The IC, together with conditioning and protection circuitry, is sealed in an IP67- and IP69K-qualified rugged package for durability in most harsh environments. Eight operating ranges from 50° to 360° are tolerant to over-travel and allow use in most common applications. Designed to operate on a 5 V_DC regulated power supply. The Honeywell capabilities in research and development provide the customer with known quality and support.
