Honeywell's RTY series of Hall-effect rotary position sensors are cost-effective and provide angle monitoring in harsh transportation and industrial applications.
These devices use magnetically biased Hall-effect integrated circuits (ICs) to sense the rotary motion of the actuator shaft over a set operating range. Rotation of the actuator shaft changes the position of the magnet relative to the IC. The resulting change in magnetic flux density is converted into a linear output.
The IC is sealed in a rugged IP67-certified package with regulation and protection circuits and permanent magnets to ensure durability in most harsh environments.
