Title: Synchro
IPC: G08C19/40
Filed: 1965-04-20
Abstract: 1,106,927. Selsyn machines. F. A. SUMMERLIN. 19 April, 1966 [20 April, 1965; 11 May, 1965], Nos. 16607/65 and 19900/65. Heading H2A. The device comprises a wound stator and an unwound rotor, the stator having at least two pairs of circumferentially-disposed poles or teeth carrying windings ensuring radial and circumferential flux flow but not substantial axial flux flow, and the rotor being a member of ferromagnetic material which is cylindrical about the rotor axis but has at least one end surface inclined to a plane perpendicular to the axis, whereby the division of flux between the poles of a pair on the stator is dependent upon the angular disposition of the rotor. As shown, the rotor end face 16, Fig. 2, is oblique; the stator. comprises three diametrically-opposite pairs of poles 11, Fig. 1, each pole having an exciting coil 13 radially outwardly of a signal coil 14. The exciting coils of a pair of opposite poles are connected in series to cause flux to pass from stator to rotor at one pole and from rotor to stator at the other. The signal coils of a pair of opposite poles are also connected in series but so that the voltage across the combination is proportional to the difference of the voltages across the respective exciting coils. In a preferred arrangement, the series-connected exciting windings on the three pairs of poles are connected in parallel across an A.C. supply and the three pairs of signal windings are connected in star to give a three-wire output. This is then connected to the exciting windings (connected in star) of a second device according to the invention; the signal windings of the latter are connected in series. An unwound pole may be interposed between each two wound poles on the stator to provide flux return paths. A single unit may have only two pairs of opposite poles at right angles for use as a resolver. The rotor shape may be modified so that the area under a pole changes linearly with rotor angle. The rotor may be solid or laminated. In Fig. 3 (not shown), four units are combined in axial alignment to compensate for inaccurate radial positioning; the rotors are on a common shaft.
