Hall-effect rotary position sensors suit transport and industry needs

Suitable for a diverse range of transportation and industrial applications, Honeywell's RTP Hall-effect rotary position sensors are now stocked by Mouser. The sensors take non-contact sensing to a new 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. RTP Series offers a choice of a bare or a housed magnet. Honeywell's RTP sensors use a magnetically biased, Hall-effect integrated circuit 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 and conditioning and protection circuitry are sealed in an IP69K-qualified rugged package for durability in most harsh environments. Eight operating ranges from 50 degrees to 360 degrees are tolerant to over-travel and allow use in a wide range of transportation and industrial applications. Low voltage and high voltage versions cover an input voltage range of 4.5VDC to 30VDC.
