Variable Reluctance Resolvers (Brushless)

Ducommun Variable Reluctance Resolvers (VRRs) are highly reliable Brushless Resolvers without rotary transformers. Unlike conventional resolvers, VRRs have both primary and secondary windings in the stator and no windings on the rotor. This offers significant advantages in price, weight and envelope dimensions.

VRRs are mechanically and electrically compatible with traditional brushless resolvers. They provide accurate absolute positioning or velocity feedback and can be offered as single-speed and multi-speed designs. Without a rotary transformer and fewer parts, VRRs are extremely reliable and compact feedback devices for harsh environments.

Ducommun offers different stator and rotor core designs depending on the required accuracies and mounting dimensions. Custom designs are available on request.
