If those are rare earth motors, that one is now junk. The magnets are
often so strong that they lose their strength when removed from the
stator, which acts as a keeper.

But, anyway, then they are usually called "brushless DC" motors, although
that is a misnomer. The signals from a resolver can be converted into
sine/cosine signals. But, the servo amp will most likely have that
circuitry
in it.
