RADS Series Rotary Position Sensor with External Actuator

Intelligent sensing solutions, Magnetic sensors product

RADS Series Hall-effect rotary angle displace sensors provide non-contact sensing in harsh transportation and industrial applications at a competitive cost.Multiple operating ranges from 60° to 360° are tolerant to over-travel and allow for usage in most common applications. Low voltage and high voltage versions cover an input voltage range of 4.5 Vdc to 30 Vdc.

Features

True, non-contact operation
unlimited rotation (RAS Series)
Solid-state Hall-effect technology
Rugged IP69K-sealed package with integral connector
Automotive-grade EMI/EMC testing, integrated reverse polarity, and short circuit protection
Industry-standard AMP termination, 32 mm mounting pitch, North American or European pin-out styles, and compact package
Multi operating ranges up to 360°

Applications

TransportationPosition and movement detection (pedals, throttles, gear shift, levers, steering, linkages, and hitches in trucks, buses, off-road vehicles, cranes, and industrial/ construction/agricultural vehicles and equipment)
Suspension/kneeling position (buses, trucks)
Tilt/trim position (boat engines, tilling equipment)


IndustrialValve control
HVAC damper control
Irrigation equipment pivot control
