YK-XG POINT 3 Product Lineup Resolver is used for position detector. As the resolver uses a simple and rigid structure without using electronic components and optical elements, it features high environment resistance and low failure ratio. Detection problems due to electronic component breakdown, dew condensation on or oil sticking to the disk that may occur in optical encoders do not occur in the resolver due to its structure. Additionally, as the absolute specifications and incremental specifications use the same mechanical specifications and common controller, the specifications can be changed...
