Abstract

A variable reluctance resolver has a stator combined with a housing. The resolver does not require extra space in a case for a device, into which the resolver is mounted, and it is easily coaxially mounted to the device. The resolver includes a ring-like stator 10 , a rotor 20 , and a housing 30 . The stator 10 has a stator core 100 , a first insulator 110 , a second insulator 120 , and coils 130 . The stator core 100 is provided with plural salient poles 101 . The first insulator 110 and the second insulator 120 hold the stator core 100 therebetween from both sides of the stator core 100 . The coils 130 are wound to the salient poles 101 via the first insulator 110 and the second insulator 120 . The housing 30 accommodates the stator 10 . The first insulator 110 is coaxially integrally formed with the housing 30.
