Rotasyn vs. Resolver vs. RVDT

The document compares three types of angular brushless sensors: Rotasyn, Resolver, and RVDT. All three sensors are rotating differential transformers that precisely measure electrical zero. A Rotasyn has primary and secondary coils on the stator, while a Resolver has coils on both the rotor and stator. An RVDT also has coils only on the stator. Resolvers and Rotasyns provide absolute angle measurement, while RVDTs measure phase shift. Typical accuracy ranges from 0.1-0.5% of full scale.
