Abstract
Abstract A system for the synhchrotransmission of angular position data between two rotating shafts, using, as the transmitter and receiver, two two-phase Hall effect motors, of which each rotor 2, 52 has a permanent magnet and each stator is formed by two windings 54,54, 73,74, and two Hall effect magnetic sensors 3,4, 23,24, arranged in pairs at a right angle. The electrical signals created by the sensors of the transmitter and the receiver are introduced into comparator circuits 19,29 so as to produce, in the event of angular position differences between the rotors, an error signal which after amplification 40, 41 is applied to the windings 53,54 of the receiver, thus eliminating the position difference by the creation of a torque.
