Torque (Controlled)

Purpose

Generate variable torque

Library

Mechanical / Rotational / Sources

Description

pict

The Controlled Torque generates a variable torque between its two flanges. The direction of a positive torque is indicated by the arrow. The momentary torque is determined by the signal fed into the input of the component.


Note  A torque source may not be left unconnected or connected in series with a spring or any other torque source.

Parameters

Second flange
Controls whether the second flange is accessible or connected to the rotational reference frame.
Allow state-space inlining
For expert use only! When set to on and the input signal is a linear combination of mechanical measurements, PLECS will eliminate the input variable from the state-space equations and substitute it with the corresponding output variables. The default is off.

Torque
The generated torque, in Newton meters (Nm).
Speed
The speed of the flange that the arrow points to with respect to the other flange, in rad-
 s  .
