Difference Between Synchro Transmitter and Reciever

[bilal shareef]

Hello everybody,
Can anybody tell me about the difference between the synchro transmitter, synchro receiver and synchro transformer.

Because when I saw the internal structure of all the three (synchro transmitter, synchro receiver and synchro transformer) I found no difference in the internal winding

And if there is not any difference can we use synchro transformer in place of synchro transmitter

I think these are rather loose terms, have you tried www.wikipedia.org ?

Synchro transmitters and receivers are electrically identical. ... The difference between a TDX and a TDR is that the TDX is a torque transmitter and TDR has electrical angle inputs on both the stator and rotor.

So, I can use synchro receiver as a synchro transmitter .. Right ?? switychandra
Actually I have a motor in which their is a built-in synchro receiver whose shaft is coupled with the motors shaft so I can use that receiver as a transmitter to locate the current shaft position of the motor.. Right ??
