Basics of a Resolver transformer....

In summary, the conversation discusses the basics of resolver, including how it works and how it calculates angle and velocity. Links to Wikipedia, Analog Devices, and Texas Instruments are provided for more information. It is clarified that the resolver itself does not do any calculations or locking, but rather these tasks are performed by connected electronics. The conversation also mentions the potential accuracy and speed of resolver systems and provides a link to a patent for further reading. Overall, resolver is a versatile and customizable device used in various applications such as industrial robotics.

Generally how much time does it take for the resolver to lock to the cos and sine signals and calculate the velocity?

A resolver is essentially laminated steel and several coils of copper wire arranged in a particular way. It doesn't do calculations, nor does it lock anything - these things are done by whatever electronics are connected to it.

Take a look at; “Synchro and Resolver Conversion, Geoffrey Boyes, Analog Devices, 1980”

You will find a direct link in the Analog Devices list of downloads. See page 31.
ftp://ftp.analog.com/pub/cftl/Technical%20Book%20List.pdf

There is plenty to read in that list.

Resolver is an analog device, interpreting the signals all depends on the interface. Here is a Patent on the scheme, worth the read.

Resolver systems are used in industrial robotics, can be quite accurate and fast - but the limit? Each system will be designed to meet the needs of the application.
 

1. What is a resolver transformer?

A resolver transformer is a type of electrical transformer that converts an input signal into an output signal by utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction. It is commonly used in applications where precise and accurate angular position, velocity, or motion control is required.

2. How does a resolver transformer work?

A resolver transformer consists of a primary winding, a secondary winding, and a rotor. When an alternating current is passed through the primary winding, it induces a magnetic field. The rotor, which is connected to the input shaft, rotates within this field, causing the secondary winding to generate an output signal proportional to the angle of rotation.

3. What are the advantages of using a resolver transformer?

Compared to other types of transformers, a resolver transformer offers several advantages. It has a high resolution and accuracy, is resistant to electromagnetic interference, and can operate in harsh environments. It also has a long lifespan and requires little maintenance.

4. What are the common applications of a resolver transformer?

Resolver transformers are commonly used in aerospace, military, and industrial applications where precise position or motion control is critical. They are also used in robotics, radar systems, motor control, and servo systems.

5. How do I choose the right resolver transformer for my application?

When selecting a resolver transformer, it is important to consider factors such as accuracy, temperature range, vibration resistance, and environmental conditions. It is also important to ensure that the transformer is compatible with the input and output signals and can meet the specific requirements of your application.
