RTY Series and RTP Series Hall-effect Rotary Position

Sensors

The RTY Series and RTP Series Hall-effect Rotary Position Sensors provide non-contact sensing in harsh transportation and

industrial applications at a competitive cost.

•

RTY Series: 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.

•

RTP Series: Takes non-contact sensing to the next level by separating the magnet from the sensor body. The absence of the

actuator shaft removes the wear and tear on the bearings caused by radial forces. A choice of a bare or a housed magnet is

available.

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 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. Low voltage and

high voltage versions cover an input voltage range of 4.5 Vdc to 30 Vdc.

Honeywell’s industry-leading capabilities in research and development provide the customer with known quality and support.
