Honeywell’s Hawk™ 1-Inch Series Resolvers are durable, accurate, and reliable absolute position sensors that provide non-contact measurement for 360° sensing under severe environmental conditions. Their operating temperature range from -50.8 °C to 93.3 °C [-60 °F to 200 °F], shock and vibration specifications, use of magnetic principles so that performance is not impacted by media such as sand, dust, or water, and the use of space-qualified materials allow for potential use in harsh defense and aerospace applications.
Manufacturing Process Reduces Lead Time and Allows
Customization
Honeywell uses the same components for all standard configurations of its Hawk™ 1-Inch Series Resolvers,
increasing production speed and reducing lead time. This results in Honeywell’s ability to manufacture
production-quality standard devices up to 1.5 times faster than many of its competitors (8 weeks versus 20-22
weeks).
Global Support and Engineering Expertise
Honeywell’s global presence offers customers timely product and application support. Many resolver
competitors offer support only in their local manufacturing area, or limited support outside of their
manufacturing area. With over 30 years of experience providing accurate, reliable, and durable resolvers for
the aerospace and defense industries, Honeywell is your one-stop, full-service, globally-competitive answer
to your resolver needs.
(
= competitive differentiator)
Shock specification of 50 g, 11 ms allows for use in harsh military and aerospace applications
Vibration specification of 15 g, 10 Hz to 2000 Hz allows for use in harsh military and aerospace
applications
Enhanced
reliability and durability when compared with potentiometers due to the Hawk™ Resolvers’ ability to
resolve an absolute angle using magnetic principles so that performance is not impacted by media (i.e., sand,
dust, water), its ability to operate in many harsh environments, its non-contact design, the lack of
electronics, and the use of space-qualified materials
Operating
temperature range of -50.8 °C to 93.3 °C [-60 °F to 200 °F] allows for use in harsh environments and
meets standard military and space application requirements
Excitation
voltage range of 2 V to 15 V allows customers to standardize on a resolver that meets their
excitation voltage needs, simplifying sourcing and delivery, and saving time
Product
delivery up to 1.5 times faster than many competitive products
Customization due to Honeywell’s manufacturing process and the variety of features that allow
customers to customize Hawk™ Resolvers to meet their application accuracy and size requirements
Global
support due to Honeywell’s worldwide presence which offers customers immediate product and
application support; many resolver competitors offer either support only in their local manufacturing area,
or limited support outside of their manufacturing area
Engineering
expertise due to Honeywell’s 30+ years’ experience providing accurate, reliable, and durable
resolvers for the aerospace and defense industries
Defence
• Electro-optical systems (i.e., systems that transfer information from the optical
system to the firing mechanism): may provide absolute position feedback of the azimuth and/or elevation
angular planes for precise ordnance delivery
• Fire control systems (i.e., weapon systems on military vehicles or vessels): to provide
absolute position feedback of the azimuth and/or elevation angular planes which results in precise ordnance
delivery
• Gimbals position feedback (i.e., communication pedestals positioned on top of military
vehicles): to provide absolute position feedback of the azimuth and/or elevation angular planes for a
continuous communication stream
• Infrared systems (i.e., military vehicle infrared systems): to accurately aim the infrared
system at the target
• Engines/transmissions: to monitor transmission position to maximize fuel efficiency • Test
equipment: to provide absolute position feedback to test optical/magnetic encoders, potentiometers, and
related sensors
• Test equipment: to provide absolute position feedback to test optical/magnetic encoders,
potentiometers, and related sensors
Space
• Satellite, space station or space vehicle solar panel array: to position the equipment
for maximum solar energy extrusion
• Satellite antenna: to position satellite antenna for signal transmission
