Rotary Position
Sensor Line Guide
Select Rotary Position Sensors. Firmly positioned as the leader. Potentiometer Sensors utilize precision technology developed
The Honeywell Sensing and Control (S&C) Rotary Position Sensor for potential military applications. Our proprietary conductive
lineup is comprised of encoders, potentiometers, Hall-effect
rotary position sensors, and precision-crafted resolvers.
plastic offers extensive temperature range and infinite resolution,
and is designed to provide precision position measurement.
Our Encoders are available in both mechanical and optical
versions, and are best for potential applications requiring panel-
mounted, manually-operated rotary sensing.
Hall-Effect Rotary Position Sensors are offered in a variety of
sensing ranges, supply voltages, and output configurations.
Resolvers are offered in pancake, brushless, and canned styles.
Honeywell S&C is one of a handful of companies offering this
highly precise sensor technology. But that’s what you’d expect
from an industry leader.
