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

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/

RTY Series

Hall-Effect Rotary
Position Sensors

FEATURES AND BENEFITS (=competitive differentiator)

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

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.

 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

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.

Transportation:

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)
