Hall-effect Rotary Position Sensors HRS Series DatasheetHRS Series Hall-Effect Rotary Position Sensors The HRS Series uses Hall-effect technology to supply reliable and repeatable angular position information. The use of this magnetically coupled information, in place of a mechanical wiper assembly, provides long life and a cost-effective solution for harsh environments that include temperature, vibration, shock, dither, moisture and dirt. The HRS Series is packaged in a stainless steel metal housing with a 9,5 mm 0.375 in diameter unthreaded or threaded bushing and a 6,35 mm 0.25 in diameter stainless steel shaft. A variety of termination types are available. Mounting hardware is available on some catalog listings. Potential Applications Key Features and Benefits TRanSpoRT aTion Solid state Hall-effect technology provides non-contact Position and movement detection in off-road vehicles and operation for: construction/agricultural vehicles/equipment: - Long service life Gear shifter, joystick, and throttle position - Low torque actuation Pedal position - Enhanced performance in harsh environments, especially Hitch location those with vibration, shock and extreme temperatures Bucket/loader position - Reduces mechanical wear concerns Steering position 10 M cycle product life (typical): Promotes extended life in Auto-pilot/drive-by-wire system feedback the application Choice of termination types: Contributes to design induSTRial flexibility in the application Position and movement detection in material handling equipment: Voltage output allows direct connection to the control Industrial vehicle attachment position (e. g. forklift truck forks) system: Can reduce external circuitry and overall system Machine control joystick position complexity, lowering overall installation cost to the customer Robotic arm position Choice of anti-rotation locating pins: Limits rotation of Valve actuator position the device in the application, preventing over-travel on levers and throttles Rotary potentiometer package form factor: Designed to provide direct replacement for potentiometers, often allowing drop-in conversion to Hall-effect technology Solid State Hall-effect tecHnology sensing.honeywell.com 2
