RTY Series

Hall-Effect Rotary
Position Sensors
DESCRIPTION
The RTY Series Hall-Effect Rotary Position Sensors provide Eight operating ranges (50°, 60°, 70°, 90°, 120°, 180°, 270°
angle monitoring in harsh transportation and industrial and 360°) are tolerant to over-travel and allow use in most
applications at a competitive cost. common applications. Low voltage and high voltage versions
cover an input voltage range of 4.5 Vdc to 30 Vdc.
These products use a magnetically biased, Hall-effect
integrated circuit (IC) to sense rotary movement of the actuator Most applications require no lever, and no brackets are

FEATURES AND BENEFITS (=competitive differentiator) POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

 15 M cycle product life: Provides long life in the Transportation:
application Position and movement detection of pedals, throttles, gear
Solid-state Hall-effect technology: Provides non-contact shift, levers, steering, linkages, and hitches (trucks, buses,
operation, long service life, low torque actuation and off-road vehicles, industrial/construction/agricultural
reduces worn-out mechanisms vehicles and equipment, cranes)
Rugged IP67-sealed package with integral connector: Suspension displacement/kneeling (buses, trucks)
Allows for use in harsh environments Tilt/trim position (boat engines, tilling equipment)
Automotive-grade EMI/EMC testing, integrated reverse
polarity, and short circuit: Provides protection against Industrial:
installation errors and frequencies in the environment Valve control
Industry-standard AMP termination, 32 mm mounting HVAC damper control
pitch, North American and European pinout styles, and Irrigation pivot control
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
