Woodward Resolvers

Unsurpassed Accuracy for Aerospace and Severe Duty Rotary Sensing

Woodward’s synchro/resolver position sensors provide an optimum combination of accuracy and reliability in a rotary position sensing device. Woodward has fielded basic construction and custom-packaged resolver position sensors in numerous aerospace and defense applications:

    • High Lift, Spoiler, and Horizontal Stabilizer 
    • Motor Commutation
    • Guidance and Navigation 
    • Cockpit Controls
    • Control Surface Feedback
    • Electro-Optic and Radar
    • Nosewheel Feedback

Woodward resolvers are manufactured using the highest quality winding, drivetrain, and structural materials. Thermally matched material selection ensures long life and performance stability over a wide range of environmental conditions. Fluid-immersable designs are available for use in pressurized hydraulic fluid, fuel, and other in-fluid applications.

Woodward offers multi-channel redundancy in tandem (end-to-end) or narrow-package cluster and frameless configurations. Integrated gearing modules can provide extended operating range to 3,000+ revolutions.

A compete portfolio of rigging options and mechanical interfaces is available for adaptation to suit any installation requirement.
