Round and round the globe, its Honeywell. So trust Honeywell
Sensing and Control (S&C) for your Hall-effect rotary position
sensor needs. These sensors vary output voltage or current in
response to changes in a magnetic field — using a magnetically
biased Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) to sense rotary
movement of the actuator shaft. The rotation of the shaft changes
the IC’s position to the magnets, and then detects the change in

flux density. The output of the IC is converted to a linear output
up to 360 degrees of travel. Honeywell S&C seals the IC together
with conditioning and protection circuitry and two permanent
magnets in a rugged package featuring enhanced reliability.
What’s more, our non-contacting approach to Hall-effect rotary
position applications provides longer-life solutions that excel in
most harsh environments.

RTY Series.
Features: 35 M cycle product life
• Solid-state Hall-effect technology
• Rugged IP67-sealed package with
integral connector • Automotive-grade
EMI/EMC testing, integrated reverse
polarity, and short circuit • Industry-
standard AMP termination, 32 mm
mounting pitch, North American and
European pinout styles, and compact
package • Eight sensing ranges up to
360° • Low voltage and high voltage
versions
Benets: Angle monitoring in harsh
transportation and industrial applications
at a competitive cost. 12 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. IP67 sealing and
integral connector allows for use in harsh
environments. EMI/EMC testing, reverse
polarity and short circuit provide protection
against installation errors and frequencies
in the environment. Industry standard
termination, mounting pitch and pinout
provide drop-in replacement for existing
applications. Choice of sensing ranges
provides flexibility in multiple applications,
allowing OEMS the range of travel needed
for the application. Potential applications
include 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), as well as
industrial valve and HVAC damper control,
and irrigation pivot control
RPN Series.
Features: Solid-state Hall-effect
technology • 30 M cycle product life
• Eight sensing ranges up to 360°
• Reverse polarity, short circuit and EMC
protection • Choice of operating ranges,
outputs, and levers • IP67- or IP69K-
sealed package with integral connector
Benets: Long service life, low torque
actuation, and reduced mechanism wear-
out. Enhanced resistance to damage from
incorrect wiring and electrical noise. Wide
choice of sensing ranges provides range
of travel for most applications; tolerant
to overtravel. Output choices provide
application flexibility. Sealed package
with integral connector for durability.
Often ideal for detecting position and
movement of potential applications such
as pedals, throttles, gear shift levers,
linkages, suspension and hitches in trucks,
offroad vehicles, cranes and construction/
agricultural/industrial equipment.
HRS100 Series.
Features: Solid-state Hall-effect
technology • 10 M cycle product life
(typical) • Two sensing ranges • Choice of
termination
Benets: Use of magnetically coupled
technology in place of a mechanical wiper
assembly provides long life and a cost-
effective solution for harsh environments
that include temperature, vibration, dither,
moisture and dirt. Non-contact operation,
long service life, low torque actuation
and reduced wear-out of mechanisms.
Potential applications include position and
movement detection of pedals, throttles,
gear shift, levers, steering, linkages, and
hitches (off-road vehicles and industrial/
construction/agricultural vehicles/
equipment), tilt/trim position (boat engines),
and industrial material handling equipment
(forklifts, robotics)
