A rotary variable differential transformer apparatus for determining angular position of a rotor includes a stator support structure, a first pair of magnetically permeable stator elements and a second pair of magnetically permeable stator elements. The first and second pairs of stator elements are connected via first and second connecting members, respectively and are substantially supported by the stator support structure. Circuitry for generating a position indicator signal, including an array of coils is coupled to the first and second pairs of stator elements. A rotor is mounted within the stator support structure and substantially surrounded by the first and second pairs of stator elements. The rotor has a magnetic flux conducting element mounted thereon, which couples each of the first and second pairs of magnetically permeable stator elements in a manner which varies in proportion to the angular position of the rotor.
