6.5 Definition of synchro and Sf!!chro system types.

6.5.1 · Synchro. A synchro is an electromechanical analog converter which, through electromagnetic means, gives an electrical output that is a function of its rotor position or positions its rotor to an angle that is a function of the electrical input.

6.5.1. 1 Synchro transmitter. A synchro tl'ansmitter converts a mechanical input (rotor position) into an electrical output.

6.5.1.2 Synchro receiver. A synchro receiver converts an electrical input into a rotor position as a mechanical output.

6.5.1.3 Synchro differential tt'ansmitter. A synchro differential transmittet' gives an electrical output which is a function of two inputa--its electrical input and its mechanical input (rotor position) •

6.5.1.11 Synchro differential receiver. A synchro differential receiver gives a mechanical output (rotor position) which is a function of two electrical inputs--its primary input and its secondary input.

6.5.1.5 Control tt'ansformei-. A control transfot'mer. in conjunction with an amplifier and servomotor, converts an electrical input into a rotor position in high torque applications. The electrical output of the control transformer is amplified and applied to a servomotor which drives the load and the transformer to the null position.

6.5.2 Synohro system. A synchro system is a circuit containing one or more synchros that operate on angular information and convey this infot'mation over a distance.

6.5.3 Torque synchro system. A torque synchro system is a system in which the transmitted signal dQes usable work.

6.5.4 Control synchro system. A control synchro system is a system in which the tt'ansmitted signal controls a source or power which does work.

6.6 Definitions and conventions.

6.6.1 Rotor angular displacement.

6.6.1.1 Rotot' position. The rotor position ot any syncht'o is an angular mechanical rotor displacement from the·synchro zet'o position, measut'ed in the positive direction •

MIL-S-20708E

6.6.1.2 Rotor angle. The rotor- angle or a practical synchro is the angular mechanical rotor displacement from the synchro zero position, measuredin the positive direction, at which the synchro's output voltages exactly coITespond to the output voltages of an ideal synchro set at any specificrotor position.

6.6.2 Electrical error. The electrical error at a given rotor positionis the electr-ical angle minus the rotor position or the rotor position minusthe rotor angle {see Figure 16).

6.6.3 Receiver err-or. Rece1 ver erl'or is the difference in the shaft displacement of the receiver under test to the corr-esponding shaft position ofa torque transmitter of equal size.

6.6.4 Synchronizing time. Synchronizing time is the time required for the rotor of a synchro receiver ol' differential receiver to approach and staywithin 1.0 degree of i-est when energized.

6.6.5 Impedance.

6.6.5.1 Rotor open-circuit impedance. The rotor open-circuit impedanceor a synchro is:

Zro = T�e impedance of the rotor with the stator terminals open.

6.6.S.2 Stator open-circuit impedance. The stator open-circuit impedanceof a synchro is:

Zso = The stator impedance with the rotor terminals open.

6.6.5.3 Rotor short-circuit impedance. The rotor short-oircui t impedance ot a synohro ls:

Zrs = The impedance of the rotor with the stator terminals shorted.

6.6.5.4 Stator short-circuit impedance. The stator short-ciC'cuitimpedance or a synchro is:

.

Zss = The impedance ot the stator with the rotor terminals shorted.

6.6.6 Primar.y and secondary windings. For transmitter and receiversynohros. the t"Otor is the primary and the stator is the .secondary. For control transformers and differential synchros, the stator iS the primary andthe rotor is the secondary.

6.6.7 Rated voltage. The rated voltage of synchros is the line voltageor the synchro system power supply; i.e., 115 volts or 26 volts.

6.6.8 In-time-phase secondary voltages. The in-time-phase secondary voltage is the time phase fundamental component of the secondary voltage at

the fiz-st position of maximum coupling when the synOhro rotor is turned in the• positive direction from synchro zero.

MIL-S-20708E

6.6.9 Transformation ratio. The transformation ratio is the ratio of the fundamental frequency component of the no-load secondary voltage at maximum coupling to the voltage applied to the primary.

6.6.10 Phase shift. Phase shift is the difference between the time phase of the fundamental component of the primary voltage and the time phase of the secondary voltage of the synchro at the first position of maximum coupling in the positive direction from synchro zero.

6.6.11 Radial play and end play. -The radial play or a synohro rotor is the shaft displacement perpendicular to the shaft axis due to the reversal of a force applied perpendicular to the shaft axis. The end play of a synchro rotor is the axial shaft displacement due to the �eversal of an axial force.

6.6.12 Mechanical breakaway torgue. Mechanical breakaway torque is the torque required_ to tut"n the rotor of a synchro from rest when unenergized.

6.6.13 Torque gradient. Torque gradient is the initial rate of change of torque with angular displacement of the rotor from a position where the torque is zero, when.the synchro is energized from a standard torque transmitter of. the same frame size and rating. The torque gradient is normally given as the mean value obtained in the range of ,!10 degrees from the zero tor9ue position.

6.6. 14 Res !dual {null) voltage. Residual voltage in ·a synchro. is the actual voltage present at the secondary terminals at that position at which the theoretical secondary voltage is zero. This voltage consists of the quadrature component of the energizing frequency and a component which is made up of harmonics of the energizing frequency; Fundamental residual voltage is the quadrature component of the energizing frequency; total residual voltage is the fundamental residual voltage and harmonics.

6.6.15 Time phase. The time phase at a point in a synchro system is the phase of the voltage _at that point with respect to the phase of the energizing voltage of the system.

6.6.16 Temperature rise. Temperature rise is the increase of the internal temperature of a synohro above the ambient temperature due to the dissipation of the energizing power.

6�6.17 Units. Unless otherwise specified, units ot measurement are as follows:

a. Angles - degrees, minutesb. Potential - volts, rmsc. Impedance - ohmsd. Current - amperes, rmse. Temperature - degrees, centigradef. 'Time Phase - degreesg. Torque - ounce-inchesh . Time - seconds
