Translational Backlash
Purpose
Ideal translational backlash

Description
The Translational Backlash models an ideal symmetrical, two-sided Hard Stop in
a translational system, which restricts the relative displacement of the two
flanges between an upper and lower limit of . While the displacement
is within the limits, no force is transmitted. When the displacement hits
either limit, the flanges become rigidly connected until the transmitted force
reverses.
Parameters
- Total backlash
- The total permitted displacement
between the flanges, in meters.
- Initial displacement
- The initial displacement of the flanges, in meters. May be specified in order to provide proper initial conditions if absolute positions are measured anywhere in the system. Otherwise, this parameter can be left blank.
Probe Signals
- Torque
- The transmitted force flowing from the unmarked to the marked flange, in Newton (N).
- Displacement
- The displacement of the marked flange with respect to the unmarked flange, in meters (m).
- State
- The internal state of the component: -1 in lower limit, 0 inside limits, +1 in upper limit.
