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.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS (*=competitive differentiator)
* 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
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
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)
Industrial:
● Valve control
● HVAC damper control
● Irrigation pivot control
