Re: SMITHS "servomotor" 1111SCM-2
Hi chaps, thanks for the replies and help...
I can see what you're thinking as I initially did think the same.... however, I am convinced that these are motors, not synchros or resolvers / RVDT (even though they look almost identical at a glance).
The main reasons for this conviction are:
- They drive a gear-train that has a massive gear ratio reduction before getting to the indicator, so it has to rotate really quite fast to move the indicator.
- They state a torque and max speed on the markings.
- The same gear-train also has a synchro control transmitter attached at the other end to feed back the indicator position to the control circuitry, meaning they must be the motor to drive the gear-train.
- They are called "Servomotors" on the markings.
I can find online information on quadrature phase motors, but only with a Ref and single Control coil, nothing for motors with two Control coils.
With the feedback synchros, I have in my head a software concept for a way to read the angles, still to try it, but that's another topic.
Cheers, Scott.
