RTY SERIES

Hall-Effect Rotary Position Sensors

For more information about this

product, visit our website at:

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.
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.

NOTES:
1. The linearity error is the deviation of the measured value from the best fit line and is the quotient of
the measured output ratio deviation from the best fit line at the measured temperature to the best fit
line output ratio span at the measured temperature.
2. Accuracy is measured as a deviation from the index line, where the index line is defined as the line
with the ideal slope and sensor output voltage corrected at 0º position for its ideal value at 25 °C ±5
°C. Accuracy is valid only when the sensor output is correct at 0º position for its ideal value in the
application. s
