SENSORS: Hall-effect rotary position sensor endures harsh conditions, enhances precision
Minneapolis, Minn.—Honeywell has added 17 Hall-effect rotary position sensors to its RPN Series that simplify customer use by providing the inputs, outputs and
voltage ranges needed for nearly any control system.
Eight operating ranges up to 360° give customers greater control system accuracy by allowing them to select a range more closely suited to their application. Five supply voltage outputs (5 Vdc to 30 Vdc) and eight output configurations (mA or Vdc) improve compatibility with a variety of control systems. Linearity of ±0.35° provides customers with increased measurement precision.
Two connector choices (AMP Superseal, Deutsch) satisfy customer connection requirements. The RPN Series' products also share the same footprint, eliminating special recalibrations and simplifying use.
The RPN Series sensors use solid state Hall-effect technology, providing non-contact operation, enhancing service life and reducing wear-out mechanisms. This series uses a magnetically based, Hall-effect IC to sense rotary movement of the actuator shaft over an operating range. The IC, together with conditioning and protection circuitry and two permanent magnets, is sealed in a rugged package of IP67 or greater for durability in harsh environments. A dual output version is available for redundancy and backup.
Pricing: 100 - $165 depending upon operating degrees and options.
