RPN Series
Hall-Effect Rotary
Position Sensors
DESCRIPTION
RPN Series Rotary Position Sensors 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 the IC’s position relative
to the magnets. The resulting flux density change is converted
to a linear output.
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 most harsh environments.
Solid-state Hall-effect technology provides non-contact
operation, long service life, low torque actuation and reduced
wear-out mechanisms.
Eight operating ranges (50°, 60°, 70°, 90°, 120°, 180°, 270°
and 360°) are tolerant to over travel and allow use in most
common applications.
Five different supply voltages and eight different output
configurations, in either mA or Vdc, improve compatibility with
a variety of control systems.
Two versions provide dual outputs for use where an additional
output may be desired where redundancy and backup is
needed. Another potential application includes using one
output for an indicator and the second for the control system.
Lever versions are available. The easy-to-mount sensor has a
mounting flange with two round or oval mounting holes. All
products have AMP or Deutsch receptacles.
