Patent ID: 7511481

Claim:
A variable reluctance type angle detector comprising a 1Ã—-rotor or a 3Ã—-rotor having such a shape that a gap permeance varies in a sine wave fashion with respect to an angle Î¸, the rotor being provided rotatably on a stator having teeth on which an excitation wire and output wires are wound, wherein the stator is provided with the teeth that are disposed in such a fashion that first to twelfth teeth are sequentially disposed along a circumferential direction; the excitation wire is wound around each of the first, second, third, seventh, eighth, and ninth teeth in a concentrated fashion to generate an identical polarity and wound around each of the fourth, fifth, sixth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth teeth in the concentrated fashion to generate a polarity that is reverse to the polarity of the first, second, third, seventh, eighth, and ninth teeth; the first output wire is wound around each of the second, fourth, and twelfth teeth in the concentrated fashion to generate an identical polarity and wound around each of the sixth, eighth, and tenth teeth in the concentrated fashion to generate a polarity that is reverse to the polarity of the second, fourth, and twelfth teeth; and the second output wire is wound around each of the third, fifth, and seventh teeth in the concentrated fashion to generate an identical polarity and wound around each of the ninth, eleventh, and first teeth in the concentrated fashion to generate a polarity that is reverse to the polarity of the third, fifth, and seventh teeth.
