ELECTRICAL
RESOLVER
The Resolver allows angular position data to be
transmitted electrically in remote locations.
Resolvers are electro-mechanical analog
converters which, through electromagnetic means, gives an electrical
output that is a function of its rotor position or positions its rotor
to an angle that is a function of the electrical input.
Electrical
resolver has a two-phase rotor and a two-phase stator.
When used as a:
RESOLVER TRANSMITTER, one phase of the rotor is excited and the
other phase shorted to ground. A resolver transmitter converts a
mechanical input (rotor position) into an electrical output. Input data,
in the form of rotor angular displacement “a” degrees, results in a
corresponding two-phase electrical output at the stator. The output
voltage is proportional to the angular position of the rotor with
respect to the stator.
When used as a:
RESOLVER CONTROL TRANSFORMER, the two-phase stator receives
angular input data from a transmitter in the form of concise stator
voltages. The output is obtained from one rotor phase and the second
rotor phase is symmetrically loaded to avoid unbalances. The electrical
output of the control transformer is amplified and applied to a
servomotor, which drives the load and the transformer rotor to the null
position. The output voltage is proportional to the angular position of
the rotor with respect to the stator.
When used as a:
RESOLVER
DIFFERENTIAL, the two-phase stator receives angular input data
from a transmitter in the form of concise stator voltages. The rotor
then modifies and re-transmits this data such that it corresponds to the
algebraic sum of the electrical input angle and the relative rotor
angle.
