  • Patent number: 10254133
    Abstract: An excitation winding is wound around each tooth of a detecting stator core. First output winding and second output winding are wound around mutually different teeth while avoiding winding of the output windings with the same phase around two teeth adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction. When the number of pole pairs of the excitation winding is M that is an integer equal to or greater than 1 and the number of salient poles of a detecting rotor is N that is an integer equal to or greater than 1, a spatial distribution of the number of turns in each of the first and second output winding is obtained by a function represented by a sine wave of a spatial order |M±N|. An error spatial order ? represented by |M?|M±N? and an error spatial order ? represented by |??M| are values other than 1 and 2.

  • Patent number: 10103607
    Abstract: In a reference state of a rotation angle detector, plural first output coils include first output coils having the number of windings of Ai and Aj, plural second output coils include second output coils having the number of windings Bk and Bm. The rotation angle detector includes at least one configuration from among: a configuration in which the numbers of windings of the first and second output coils are the same numbers of windings as in the reference state, with the exception that the number of windings Ai is the number of windings Ai±a or the number of windings Aj is the number of windings Aj±a; and a configuration in which the number of windings Bk is the number of windings Bk±b or the number of windings Bm is the number of windings Bm±b.
