Resolvers
Kearfott resolvers are absolute position sensors used in servo applications as a commutation sensor or for output shaft sensing. Since resolvers are transformer-based devices, no onboard electronics are used to provide position feedback, therefore allowing high reliability. Kearfott resolvers provide excellent environmental resistance, high reliability, absolute value position detection, compact assembly and can operate within a wide temperature range.

Geared
Kearfott’s Geared Resolvers include assemblies that extend their absolute position measurement range. These sensors can be used for output shaft sensing where multi-turn absolute feedback is required. Combining single-speed with multi-speed elements achieves the unit’s accuracy throughout the stroke. Kearfott compact geared resolvers provide low cost, high-performance actuation systems that fit tight application envelopes. Their innovative, integrated design reduces size, weight and cost while maintaining performance.
