RTY Series
Hall-Effect Rotary
Position Sensors
DESCRIPTION
The RTY Series Hall-Effect Rotary Position Sensors provide
angle monitoring in harsh transportation and industrial
applications at a competitive cost.
These products use a magnetically biased, Hall-effect
integrated circuit (IC) to sense rotary movement of the actuator
shaft over a set operating range. Rotation of the actuator shaft
changes a 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, and
the permanent magnet, is sealed in an IP67-qualified rugged
package for durability in most harsh environments.
Eight operating ranges (50°, 60°, 70°, 90°, 120°, 180°, 270°
and 360°) are tolerant to over-travel and allow use in most
common applications. Low voltage and high voltage versions
cover an input voltage range of 4.5 Vdc to 30 Vdc.
Most applications require no lever, and no brackets are
necessary.
Honeywell’s industry-leading capabilities in research and
development provide the customer with known quality and
support.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS (=competitive differentiator)
 35 M cycle product life: Provides long life in the
application
Solid-state Hall-effect technology: Provides non-contact
operation, long service life, low torque actuation and
reduces worn-out mechanisms
Rugged IP67-sealed package with integral connector:
Allows for use in harsh environments
Automotive-grade EMI/EMC testing, integrated reverse
polarity, and short circuit: Provides protection against
installation errors and frequencies in the environment
Industry-standard AMP termination, 32 mm mounting
pitch, North American and European pinout styles, and
compact package: Provide drop-in replacement
Eight operating ranges up to 360°: Provides flexibility in
multiple applications, allowing OEMs the range of travel
needed for the application
