Honeywell Sensing & Control RTY Dual Output Hall-Effect Position Sensors
Honeywell RTY Dual Output Hall-Effect Rotary Position Sensors provide non-contact sensing in harsh industrial and transportation 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 the user's applications, thereby lowering the overall cost of the customer's solution.
These products use a Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) that is magnetically biased 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. This change in flux density is converted to a linear output. The IC, together with protection and conditioning 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 of over-travel and suitable for most common applications. These sensors are designed to operate on a 5VDC regulated power supply. Future expansion to include low-voltage and high-voltage versions to cover an input voltage range of 10VDC to 30VDC. Honeywell industry-leading capabilities in research and development provide the customer with known quality and support.
