A multi-phase electric motor including a housing, a stator mounted to the housing, a rotor rotatably mounted relative to the stator, and a position sensing system configured and disposed to output a signal representing a position of the rotor relative to the stator. The position sensing system includes a rotating member mounted relative to the rotor and a plurality of digital sensors mounted relative to the rotating member. At least two of the plurality of digital sensors are configured and disposed to generate a quadrature output signal. The plurality of digital sensors being configured and disposed to sense discrete portions of the rotating member to detect a position of the rotor relative to the stator. |
