Mesa card selection for machine with resolvers - resolver questions

Pico Systems has a single channel resolver to quadrature converter for US $150, that is compatible with most so-called brushless resolvers. It is not compatible with variable reluctance resolvers, they need too much excitation current. Typical resolvers it works with are Kearfott/Singer and Harowe Controls Harosyn.

Hi. Yes. I'm from RSA.
I have only used the rotary inductosyn  stuff as shown above, but the principle is the same as a normal resolver.

The linear/rotary inductosyn type has a low inductance (as far is I understand) and the mesa or pico products doesn't work for them, bwich is why I went for the farrand stuff.

But as noted by jmelson above, there are products for the normal wound type resolvers from pico, and mesa electronics.

so it depends very much on the rest of the hardware in the machine and if you can re use that. 

the sa-cnc club meetings are mostly online, so you don't have to travel to Johannesburg  to join. 

Thanks Henk - do you ever come by Port Elizabeth?
