Rotational Speed (Controlled)

Purpose

Maintain variable rotational speed

Library

Mechanical / Rotational / Sources

Description

pict

The Controlled Rotational Speed maintains a variable angular speed between its two flanges regardless of the torque 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 an inertia.

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.

Probe Signals

Torque
The generated torque τ   flowing from the unmarked to the marked flange, in Newton meters (Nm).
Speed
The angular speed, in rad
