  • Publication number: 20080169712
    Abstract: A rotation angle sensor includes: (a) a multi-resolver housing with a high precision structure; (b) stator terminals that do not cause deformation or loosening of terminal pins from the substrates to which they are attached; and (3) a signal line connection structure that is not affected by thermal stress. The housing (10) includes divisional housings (10a, 10b), and one resolver is installed in each of the divisional housings (10a, 10b). The divisional housings (10a, 10b) are assembled by aligning respective openings therein in an axial direction. The lead lines of stator windings are connected to printed circuit substrates (51) installed on insulators (20a, 20b) , and pins (54) connect the printed circuit substrates (51) to a connecting signal output line via flexible connectors (61, 64).

  • Patent number: 6958602
    Abstract: A high-accuracy, 1X VR resolver includes a first rotor portion having (N?1) salient poles, where N is an arbitrary integer not less than 3, a second rotor portion having N salient poles, a first stator portion having an input coil and an output coil for a shaft angle multiplier of (N?1)X are provided, and a second stator portion having an input coil and an output coil for a shaft angle multiplier of NX. A first resolver unit composed of the first rotor portion and the first stator portion, and a second resolver unit composed of the second rotor portion and the second stator portion are disposed in front and rear stages, respectively. The output coil of the stator portion in the front stage is connected to the input coil of the stator portion in the rear stage in such a manner that the output coil of the stator portion in the rear stage outputs an output signal for a shaft angle multiplier of 1X.

  • Publication number: 20050074553
    Abstract: A polyurethane varnish is used to impregnate an electrical coil and cure it. The impregnation and curing treatment method comprises a preliminary heating step in which an article having a coil is heated to a preliminary heating temperature at which the viscosity of the polyurethane varnish decreases and is above the drying temperature, a varnish application step in which the polyurethane varnish is continuously applied to the coil while rotating the heated article at a constant speed, and a high-temperature rotary drying step in which the polyurethane varnish is dried while heating said polyurethane varnish at a drying temperature which is higher than the varnish temperature during the varnish application step.
