Translational Speed (Controlled)

Purpose

Maintain variable translational speed

Library

Mechanical / Translational / Sources

Description

pict

The Controlled Translational Speed maintains a variable linear speed between its two flanges regardless of the force required. The speed is considered positive at the flange marked with a "+". The momentary speed is determined by the signal fed into the input of the component.


Note  A speed source may not be short-circuited or connected in parallel with other speed sources, nor may a speed source directly drive a mass.

Parameter

Second flange
Controls whether the second flange is accessible or connected to the translational reference frame.

Probe Signals

Force
The generated force flowing from the unmarked flange to the marked flange, in Newton (N).
Speed
The speed, in m-
