Patented Technology Delivers Higher Accuracy in a Smaller, Lighter Package
FOND DU LAC, WI (September 22, 2020) – Wells Engineered Products, a business unit of Wells Vehicle Electronics that serves manufacturers of premium vehicles and equipment throughout North America, has launched a new line of Rotary Position Sensors, featuring patented sensor technology for EV traction motor applications.
As an alternative to conventional transformer resolvers and variable reluctance resolvers, Wells Engineered Products’ Rotary Position Sensors use hall-effect sensors two-axis sinusoidal magnitization to deliver higher accuracy in a smaller, lighter package.
“Because controllability, performance and smooth torque are all critical for EV performance, accurate measurement of rotor position is essential,” said Greg Burneske, Director of Wells Engineered Products. “Our Rotary Position Sensors are more compact than a traditional VR resolver and integrate readily into new or existing motor designs – including hub motors – giving EV traction motor designers opportunities for improved designs with higher performance at a lower cost.”
In addition to delivering superior accuracy in a smaller, lighter package, Wells’ Rotary Position Sensors feature a semi-circular package for space-constrained applications, making them adaptable to various mounting techniques and locations. They are easily calibrated to any position, completely serviceable and offer built-in redundancy.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, Wells Engineered Products’ engineering team collaborates with customers to incorporate customized Rotary Position Sensor technology into current or future motor designs. And since our sensors are manufactured in North America on highly automated equipment, Wells Engineered Products can fill small, medium and high-volume orders economically.
