Automobiles today contain a growing number of position and speed sensors that look at rotation. From transmission input and output shafts, crankshafts, and even individual tire speeds, these sensors ...

Variable-reluctance sensors are preferred for industrial and automotive environments, because they sustain mechanical vibration and operation to 300°C. In most applications, they sense a steel target ...

WILMINGTON, MA--(Marketwired - May 25, 2016) - Stafford Manufacturing Corp. has introduced a line of rotary encoder shaft collars that provide targets to let variable reluctance sensors track the ...

This Application Note describes the design of a sensorless 3-Phase Switched Reluctance (SR) motor drive based on Freescale’s 56F80x / 56F8300 dedicated motor control devices. SR motors are gaining ...

The switched reluctance machine has significant advantages in terms of robustness control simplicity and wide speed range which are appropriate for variable speed generation of electrical energy.
