A personal manager will explain the step-by-step process for purchasing a Tamagawa component.
A selsyn, also known as a synchro, is an electromechanical device that is a specialized type of rotary transformer used for transmitting angular position data. Selsyns are commonly used in pairs, with a “transmitter” unit mechanically coupled to a rotating device and a “receiver” unit that mirrors the transmitter’s position at a remote location. These devices are known for their exceptional durability and reliability, particularly in applications where resistance to harsh environmental conditions is critical.
Tamagawa Selsyn Categories
Tamagawa offers a range of synchros (selsyns) and similar resolver products, each designed for specific performance and environmental requirements. Their main product lines are:
- Control Selsyns (Synchros): These are used primarily for remote position sensing and synchronization in control systems. They are highly reliable and can be used to transmit angular position over a long distance without the need for complex electronics or data conversion at the transmission point.
- Torque Selsyns (Synchros): These are designed to transmit torque or power, allowing the receiver unit to mechanically follow the transmitter’s movements. They are used in applications where a direct mechanical connection is impractical, such as in remote indicators, valve positioners, and antennas.
- Brushless Resolvers (Smartsyn): While technically a different technology, Tamagawa’s brushless resolvers are often used for similar applications as selsyns. They are a more modern version of the same principle, offering extreme environmental resistance, a long service life, and high-speed operation. Tamagawa’s Smartsyn series is well-known for its high resistance to shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
Key Features
Tamagawa selsyns and synchros are highly valued for the following characteristics:
- Extreme Durability: Their simple, rugged construction with no electronic or optical components makes them highly resistant to dust, moisture, vibration, and shock.
- High Reliability: The non-contact, brushless design ensures a long operational life with minimal to no maintenance, which is critical for aerospace, military, and heavy industrial applications.
- Simple Operation: They can be operated with a simple AC power source, and the position transmission is purely electrical, providing a reliable and stable signal over long distances.
- Absolute Position Sensing: Selsyns provide absolute position information, so they do not lose their positional reference if power is interrupted.
To receive a commercial offer for the supply of a Tamagawa selsyn or synchro, please contact our specialists. To create a request, you’ll need the following information: the specific product model, the intended application, and the required operating conditions (e.g., temperature range, vibration levels). Providing this detailed information is crucial to ensuring the product offered is the precise one for your needs.
