magslip|ˈmægslɪp|
[said to be f. magnetic a. + slip(-ring.]
A kind of electric motor designed so that, when it is operating as a receiver, the angular position of its rotor is maintained the same as that of the rotor of a similar motor electrically connected to it and operating as a transmitter; orig. applied to a particular design of receiver in which the rotor is a simple magnetic member without windings polarized by a fixed coil and moved by a three-phase stator.
1947Electronic Engin. XIX. 259/1 Small instruments of the magslip or selsyn type, in which shaft position corresponds to the angular datum of the input quantity. 1950Engineering 29 Dec. 557/3 The forces developed by the gyroscopes are..small and therefore have to be amplified. This is achieved by means of a sensitive hydraulic-motor unit developed by the Admiralty, the signals being transmitted from the gyroscope to the hydraulic unit by a system of ‘magslips’. The magslip is, of course, well known as a device for the electrical transmission of angular displacements. 1954Jrnl. Brit. Interplanetary Soc. XIII. 281 Running up the axis of the life compartment and projecting through the nose is the coelostat tube topped by a semi-elliptical mirror which can be tilted and rotated by a servo magslip motor thus allowing viewing in all directions. 1962J. Bell in G. A. T. Burdett Automatic Control Handbk. iv. 11 Magslips were developed for use in the Royal Navy for transmission of bearing, range and elevation data between observing instruments, calculating tables, searchlights and guns. 1967M. Healey Princ. Automatic Control xiv. 261 Some confusion existed over terminology, but military specifications have led to standardisation of sizes, voltages, frequencies, etc., so that older units such as Selsyns and Magslips are similar in principle but different in size. |
