Given the importance of position detection in aerospace applications, electric machine drives, an‎d motion control, the use of position detection sensors is very common. Among these sensors, resolvers are very durable because they are resistant to temperature changes an‎d the presence of vibration an‎d are suitable for industrial applications. The problem with resolvers is that due to the small dimensions of these electromagnetic sensors an‎d the winding operations on them, the manufacturing process is very time-consuming. So far, various studies have been conducted to increase the ease of manufacturing, but a definitive an‎d well-established solution has not yet been presented. In this study, a solution is proposed to eliminate the tooth shoe in this sensor an‎d perform the winding process separately outside the core an‎d on the pulley. In this case, the manufacturing process is completely facilitated, but on the other han‎d, the accuracy of the resolver experiences a very severe dro‎p. In order to compensate for the lost accuracy, it is recommended to use magnetic wedges at the groove openings. To ensure accuracy compensation, first, different models of resolvers with shoes with different locations an‎d lengths of shoes are simulated an‎d the most optimal one is selec‎ted. The accuracy measurement criterion for all models is the average absolute value of the position error in one mechanical cycle. Next, the model with open grooves is equipped with magnetic wedges an‎d its accuracy is compared with the optimal model with shoes. Then, multiple optimizations are made on the wedges to increase its accuracy to a value higher than the most optimal, which is comparable to the model with grooves. In this case, the goals of this project, namely ease of construction an‎d maintaining accuracy, have been achieved. Finally, the optimal sample is constructed. It can be seen that the results of practical tests confirm the simulation results.
