Switches

What is a Switch?

A switch is an electrical component that will either connect or disconnect the conducting path in an electrical circuit. The electrical current is either interrupted or diverted from one conductor to another.

What Do We Supply?

We supply an extensive range of switches for a variety of markets and applications.
These include:
Push Button switches
Piezo switches
Vandal Resistant switches
Toggle switches
Slide switches
Micro switches
Rocker switches
Safety switches
Limit switches
Rotary switches

RTY Dual Output Sensors - Designed to provide non-contact sensing in harsh transportation and industrial applications

Honeywell RTY

The Honeywell RTY Dual Output Hall-effect Rotary Position Sensors are designed to provide non-contact sensing in harsh transportation and industrial applications with safety redundancy.

The rise of smarter controls in transportation and industrial equipment has been enabled by accurate, reliable, and rugged sensing technology. Hall-effect style sensors provide a portable, non-contact solution that can handle tough operating conditions in these environments.

The RTY Dual Output Series joins the extensive Honeywell portfolio of rugged and reliable Hall-effect Rotary Position Sensors. The addition of the RTY Dual Output Series brings the durability and reliability of our Rotary Position Sensors into customer applications requiring safety redundancy.

About RTY Dual Output Sensors:
The RTY Series Hall-effect Rotary Position Sensors provide non-contact sensing in harsh transportation and industrial applications at a competitive cost.

These shaft activated products are available in two versions: an integral shaft with or without a lever. The lever may allow customers to reduce the number of mechanical linkages required for their applications, which may reduce the cost of the overall customer solution.

These products use a magnetically biased, Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) to sense rotary movement of the actuator over a set operating range. Rotation of the actuator changes the magnet’s position relative to the IC. The resulting flux density change is converted to a linear output.

Key Features:

  • True non-c ontact operation:Ensures long-lasting performance with a product life of 35 million cycles•Solid-s tate Hall-e ffect technology:Provides accurate and reliable sensing
  • Dual signal capability:Delivers two voltage output signals for enhanced functionality
  • Rugged design: IP67 and IP69K-sealed package with integral connector for durability in harshenvironments30 September 2025
  • Automotive-g rade testing:Includes EMI/EMC testing, integrated reverse polarity, and short circuit protection

Applications:

  • Transportation: Ideal for position and movement detection in trucks, buses, off-road vehicles, cranes, and more
  • Industrial: Suitable for valve control, HVAC damper control, and irrigation equipment pivot control
  • Marine:Perfect for tilt/trim position and rudder position monitoring
  • Military:Effective for chassis suspension systems position height
