The axial flux brushless resolver without rotor windings is newly proposed resolver that has the advantages of variable reluctance (VR) resolvers for having no winding on rotor and also, its manufacturing process is much simpler than that of VR resolvers. The influence of different mechanical faults on the position error of the studied resolver is discussed. Different types of eccentricities, inclined rotor and run out error independently and simultaneously are studied using 3D time stepping finite‐element method. The results show the maximum position error is related to the resolver under static eccentricity (SE), so an optimised rotor is proposed for the studied resolver to overcome this challenge. Finally, the optimised resolver is built and the experimental tests are done to validate the simulation results.
