Honeywell RT600 and RT700 Series Noncontact Rotary Transducers

Honeywell Sensing and Control RT600 and RT700 Series Non-Contact Rotary Transducers offer full 360-degree absolute position capability and have an exclusive Auto Centering Feature. ACF eliminates the need to mechanically adjust the sensor to the rotating mechanism, saving time and cost in installation.

Custom angle ranges can also be provided for the Honeywell Sensing and Control RT600 and RT700 Series Non-Contact Rotary Transducers.

Honeywell Sensing and Control RT600 and RT700 Series Non-Contact Rotary Transducers offer full 360-degree absolute position capability and have an exclusive Auto Centering Feature. ACF eliminates the need to mechanically adjust the sensor to the rotating mechanism, saving time and cost in installation.

RT600 is one piece; RT700, two. RT700 has a non-contact transducer and a separate magnetic target attached to the rotating mechanism. The target is isolated from the transducer, which produces zero torque load on the rotating mechanism, zero hysteresis, and eliminates wear surfaces.

Each can be configured with either a PWM or 0.5 V dc to 4.5 V dc output. Custom angle ranges can also be provided.
