Synchro
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005827
A rotary electrical transformer that measures the angular position of a rotating shaft. It transmits this information as an electrical signal to a receiver, which then replicates the same angular position. This device is commonly found in servo mechanisms and remote indicator systems, operating on principles similar to a variable transformer.
