Honeywell's RTP series, rotary position sensors take non-contact sensing to the next 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. The choice of a bare or housed magnet is available.

These products use a magnetically biased, Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) 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, together with conditioning and protection circuitry, is sealed in an IP69K-qualified, rugged package for durability in most harsh environments.

Eight operating ranges from 50° to 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 V_DC to 30 V_DC.
