NOTICE

Ferrous or magnetic material
within a 75 mm [2.95 in] radius
from sensor center may affect
sensor performance.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The RTY Series uses 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.

Table 1. Specifications

MOUNTING INFORMATION

Mount the sensor using the two easily accessible mounting
holes and non-magnetic stainless steel M5 screws with flat
washers. Mounting screw tightening torque is 2,5 N m
±0,5 N m [22.1 in lb ±4.4 in lb]. In harsh applications, treat the
screw threads with a suitable thread locking compound.

Hall-Effect Rotary Position
Sensors Line Guide

Round and round the globe, it’s Honeywell. So trust Honeywell

Sensing and Control (S&C) for your Hall-effect rotary position
sensor needs. These sensors vary output voltage or current in
response to changes in a magnetic field — using a magnetically
biased Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) to sense rotary
movement of the actuator shaft. The rotation of the shaft changes
the IC’s position to the magnets, and then detects the change in

FEATURES

HALL-EFFECT ROTARY POSITION
SENSORS
RTY Series.

Features: 35 M cycle product life

• Solid-state Hall-effect technology

• Rugged IP67-sealed package with
integral connector • Automotive-grade

EMI/EMC testing, integrated reverse

polarity, and short circuit • Industry­standard AMP termination, 32 mm
mounting pitch, North American and

European pinout styles, and compact

package • Eight sensing ranges up to
360° • Low voltage and high voltage

versions

Benets: Angle monitoring in harsh

transportation and industrial applications

at a competitive cost. 12 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. IP67 sealing and

integral connector allows for use in harsh
environments. EMI/EMC testing, reverse
polarity and short circuit provide protection
against installation errors and frequencies
in the environment. Industry standard
termination, mounting pitch and pinout
provide drop-in replacement for existing

applications. Choice of sensing ranges
provides flexibility in multiple applications,
allowing OEMS the range of travel needed

for the application. Potential applications

include position and movement detection of
pedals, throttles, gear shift, levers, steering,
linkages, and hitches (trucks, buses,
off-road vehicles, industrial/construction/
agricultural vehicles and equipment,
cranes); suspension displacement/kneeling
(buses, trucks); tilt/trim position (boat
engines, tilling equipment), as well as

industrial valve and HVAC damper control,

and irrigation pivot control

RPN Series.

• Eight sensing ranges up to 360°

• Reverse polarity, short circuit and EMC
protection • Choice of operating ranges,
outputs, and levers • IP67- or IP69K-

sealed package with integral connector

Benets: Long service life, low torque

actuation, and reduced mechanism wear­out. Enhanced resistance to damage from
incorrect wiring and electrical noise. Wide
choice of sensing ranges provides range
of travel for most applications; tolerant
to overtravel. Output choices provide

flux density. The output of the IC is converted to a linear output
up to 360 degrees of travel. Honeywell S&C seals the IC together
with conditioning and protection circuitry and two permanent
magnets in a rugged package featuring enhanced reliability.
What’s more, our non-contacting approach to Hall-effect rotary
position applications provides longer-life solutions that excel in
most harsh environments.

application flexibility. Sealed package
with integral connector for durability.
Often ideal for detecting position and
movement of potential applications such
as pedals, throttles, gear shift levers,
linkages, suspension and hitches in trucks,
offroad vehicles, cranes and construction/
agricultural/industrial equipment.

that include temperature, vibration, dither,
moisture and dirt. Non-contact operation,
long service life, low torque actuation
and reduced wear-out of mechanisms.

Potential applications include position and

movement detection of pedals, throttles,
gear shift, levers, steering, linkages, and
hitches (off-road vehicles and industrial/
