Dears
How could i generate PWM through 3 pins rotary by using only transistors, OPamps, 74xx and 40xx.. i mean without microchips...??
could anyone help me in this issue...

Is this a school assignment?

Maybe you can ask professional people's advice.

If you aren't using microchips, then opamps, 74xx and 40xx series logic are out of the window! And what on earth do you mean by "through 3 pins rotary"?
PS. Do your own bloody homework!

errr 555 timer ? there are other more elaborate ways with opamps but you'd need to understand the various circuit topologies to put together am opamp version

LM339 or TL494 for example.

you mean a 3pin rotary encoder with quadrature output ? that would be a challenge without a micro.
if you just need a PWM generator, then 555 - google for "555 servo tester"

I think some of the meaning has been lost in translation.
Presumably by no microchip, you mean no microcontroller?
Are you talking about using a potentiometer to control the duty cycle of a PWM signal?
Here's how to do PWM with commonly available ICs:
555 Timer
LM393, comparator
CMOS logic gates

You need to be logged in to see the images above.
It's also possible to so this with discrete transistors but I don't have the circuit handy at the moment.
