Product catalog summary
Introduction
Axsys Technologies specializes in high-accuracy resolvers and synchros for military and industrial applications, offering products like housed and frameless pancake resolvers that comply with MIL-R-23417 and MIL-STD-202 standards. Their V-Line™ resolvers are designed for cost-effectiveness and quick delivery.
V Line Products
The V Line includes standard frameless pancake resolvers for military, space, and industrial use, available in various configurations such as bare units and lightweight titanium options. Special features include flanges and connectors for enhanced stability and accuracy.
Applications
Resolvers are used in sectors like military/aerospace, industrial, instrumentation, and medical due to their ruggedness and accuracy.
How a Resolver Works
Resolvers function based on transformer theory, with an AC voltage inducing a proportional output on secondary windings, providing sine and cosine outputs related to the shaft angle.
Pancake Resolvers
Characterized by a larger diameter than length, pancake resolvers can be self-contained or frameless, offering advantages like eliminating coupling errors and facilitating integration.
Technical Overview
The document details resolver design, functionality, and application, covering single-speed and multispeed resolvers, their components, and placement.
Resolver Windings
Resolvers have one primary and at least two secondary windings, with multispeed resolvers enhancing resolution by increasing pole pairs.
Multispeed Resolvers
Designed for high-resolution sensing, these resolvers improve performance by averaging mechanical and winding perturbations.
Specifying a Resolver
Guidance is provided on defining resolver inputs and outputs, mounting, coupling, and selection based on application needs.
Resolver Parameters
Key parameters include input voltage, frequency, voltage sensitivity, impedances, phase shift, transformation ratio, and null voltage.
Accuracy and Error Considerations
Accuracy is critical, with electrical error being a key factor. The document emphasizes precise design and installation to minimize errors.
Specifications and Accuracy
Resolvers offer high angular accuracy, with errors specified in arc minutes or seconds. Special trimming techniques minimize inaccuracies.
Velocity Error
Electrical errors at high speeds are negligible at slow speeds typical for pancake resolvers.
Loading Effects
Resolvers are designed with low output impedance to minimize loading issues.
Insulation and Temperature Effects
Resolvers undergo tests to ensure quality, with multispeed resolvers being less sensitive to temperature variations.
Special Options and Mounting Recommendations
Options like connectors and trim boards enhance accuracy, with mounting recommendations provided.
Compensated Resolvers
Compensated windings maintain constant TR and phase shift over temperature ranges.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation is crucial to avoid distortion and maintain performance.
Specifications
Detailed specifications for pancake resolvers include phase shift, transformation ratio, accuracy, angular range, weight, and inertia.
Design and Modifications
Resolvers are available in bare and sleeve & hub configurations, with custom designs available.
Performance Characteristics
Resolvers operate at specific speeds and input specifications, with detailed schematics and phase equations provided.

Impedances are usually specified in rectan-gular form as R +jX where R is the active componentӔand X is the reactive component.ӔActive component value is the sum of DC and AC resistive components; the DC resistive component depending on wire gauge and number of turns is tempera- ture sensitive,the AC component depending on core losses resulting...

Loading Effects Loading presents almost no problem formost installations of Axsys Resolvers because they are designed for the lowest possible output impedance.The rule-of-thumb is that the electrical loading should be at least ten times greater than the output short cir- cuit impedance,and the standardized multi- speed units are seldom above 1000 ohms. Single speed units are usually less than 100 ohms.If the output load impedance happens to be very small however,output voltage will decrease,input current and null voltage will increase,and the accuracy will degrade.When used with R-to-D converters,whoseinput...
