Additional Information for Synchros and Resolvers
NATO Supply Class 5990 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.
Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5990 focuses on Synchros and Resolvers. Synchros and resolvers are types of electrical devices used for measuring and transmitting angular position or velocity information. They are commonly used in various applications, including navigation systems, control systems, and robotics.
Synchros are electromechanical devices that convert an electrical signal into a mechanical motion or vice versa. They are often used for precise positioning or tracking of rotating machinery. Resolvers, on the other hand, are similar to synchros but are typically used for measuring angular position or velocity in a more rugged and reliable manner.
In the context of NATO Supply Class 5990, you can expect to find various types of synchros and resolvers, including different sizes, configurations, and specifications. These components are essential for the operation of electrical and electronic systems that require accurate measurement and control of angular position or velocity.
When procuring or working with synchros and resolvers in NATO Supply Class 5990, it is important to ensure compatibility with the specific application requirements and system specifications. This may involve considering factors such as voltage ratings, frequency response, accuracy, and environmental conditions.
Overall, NATO Supply Class 5990 plays a crucial role in providing standardized classification and procurement guidelines for synchros and resolvers within the broader field of electrical and electronic equipment components.

- A Differential Transmitter Synchro (SYNCHRO,DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMITTER) is a synchro, the rotor of which is mechanically positioned for modifying electrical angular information, received from a transmitter synchro and transmitting to receiver synchro or control transformer synchro electrical information corresponding to the sum or difference of the electrical input angle and its rotor position angle. Does not include variable resistors, goniometers, variable transformers, or items with dials.
- What is a Receiver Synchro? 661 Items
- A Receiver Synchro (SYNCHRO,RECEIVER) is a synchro consisting of a stator and rotor inductively coupled. The rotor is free to turn in accordance with the electrical input from a transmitter synchro or a differential synchro. Does not include variable resistors, goniometers, variable transformers, or items with dials.
- What is a Transmitter Synchro? 1722 Items
- A Transmitter Synchro (SYNCHRO,TRANSMITTER) is a synchro consisting of a stator and rotor inductively coupled.

- What is an Electrical Resolver? 1598 Items
- An Electrical Resolver (RESOLVER,ELECTRICAL) is an item consisting of a rotor and a stator inductively coupled. It usually has two rotor windings displaced from each other by 90 degrees and two stator windings similarly displaced. The output voltage(s) is a trigonometric function of the input voltage(s) and the angular displacement of the rotor with respect to the stator. See also SYNCHRO (as modified) and GONIOMETER, ELECTRICAL. Excludes TRANSOLVER, ELECTRICAL and potentiometer sine/cosine electrical resolvers.
