Note

(*1) VR resolver (rotation angle sensor)

A VR resolver is a rotation angle sensor designed to detect the position of a motor's magnetic pole and control motor speed. This high-precision sensor features a simple design, high resolution and superior environmental resistance. Consisting of a resolver stator with windings and a resolver rotor made up of only a lamination stack assembly, the VR resolver detects angles based on changes in the air gap between the rotor and stator. Minebea's VR resolvers are used in electronic power steering motors, ISG motors, hybrid and electric vehicle engine motors, brushless motors for brake systems as well as other automobile applications, and more.
