Introduction

The angular position sensors of the RTX series with analog output are mainly intended for industrial applications with severe conditions (temperature, humidity, vibrations). These sensors are characterized by their large measuring ranges (20 ranges between 45° and 200 turns), their stability (repeatability 0.02%) and their robustness. The thermoplastic housing of the RTX sensors is resistant to chemicals. The IP-65 tightness obtained by the use of O-rings and a shaft seal, offers protection against washing, rain, oil and other liquids. The service life is in excess of 50,000,000 revolutions.

3 versions of the RTX models are available:

RTX-PA with voltage divider or ratiometric bridge output
RTX-P420 - with 4-20 mA output
RTX-P510 with 0-5VDC, 0-10VDC, +/- 5VDC or +/- 10VDC voltage output

On amplified versions, zero and gain can be adjusted. See documentation.

Mounting and measuring principle

Supply voltage is between 5 and 30 VDC depending on the model (see Datasheet) Connection via plastic connector on the sensor body, or via a cable. The connector can be placed in the axis of the sensor, or radially. The interface diameter is between 6 and 10 mm. Optional couplings are available for connection to the application shaft.
