International Classification:
H02K 706
US Classification:
310 83
Abstract:
An improved electric actuator is provided, having in association therewith a resolver. The actuator includes a stationary and a rotatable housing, and an electric motor within it. The electric motor drives the rotary housing through a speed reducing harmonic drive mechanism. The actuator has an opening in the rotary housing, and a cavity inwardly of the opening having a mating anchoring element connected with the stationary housing. A modular resolver is provided, of a shape and size to have a major portion of it occupy the cavity provided in the actuator, and having a mating part for engaging the mating part of the stationary housing, upon assemblage of the resolver to the actuator. A rotatable part of the resolver is secured to the rotary housing. A heat dissipation system is provided, including a fan mounted on a rotary member of the actuator and a closed circuit for the passage of air between the fan and a heat conductive plate forming a part of the stationary housing.
