Resolver type skew sensor with gimbal attachment

摘要

A disclosed sensor assembly 16 for detecting movement and a position of a wing flap 14 includes a sensing device 18 that generates a signal corresponding to a position of the flap. The sensor assembly includes a linkage 20 that is attached to the movable flap for mechanically communicating movement of the flap to the sensing device. The linkage includes a first pivot shaft 36 mounted to the flap that is disposed about a first axis and a second pivot shaft 34 attached to the first pivot shaft for movement about a second axis transverse to the first axis.
