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.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS (=competitive differentiator)
15 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
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.

Notes:
1. The linearity error is the
deviation of the measured
value from the best fit line
and is the quotient of the
measured output ratio
deviation from the best fit
line at the measured
temperature to the best fit
line output ratio span at the
measured temperature.
2. Accuracy is measured as a
deviation from the index line,
where the index line is
defined as the line with the
ideal slope and sensor
output voltage corrected at
0º position for its ideal value
at 25 °C ±5 °C. Accuracy is
valid only when the sensor
output is correct at 0º
position for its ideal value in
the application.
