********************* Gearmotor ********************* *Introduced in MORe v4.2* Represents a geared motor. Models rotor and gear inertia including gear reduction. ------------------ Block diagram ------------------ .. image:: media/gearmotor.png :alt: Gear motor block diagram :scale: 50 % ============== ============================================================== Signal Description ============== ============================================================== :math:`u_f` Filter output :math:`u_v` Coupling link velocity :math:`u_x` Coupling link position :math:`v_{fb}` Motor velocity. Can be used as feedback in architecture. :math:`x_{fb}` Motor position. Can be used as feedback in architecture. :math:`y` Motor output. Force acting on coupling link. ============== ============================================================== ------------------ Parameter ------------------ ============== ==================== ================= ============================================================== Variable Units linear Units rotary Description ============== ==================== ================= ============================================================== Gear ratio :math:`-` :math:`-` Gear ratio Stiffness :math:`N/m` :math:`Nm/rad` Stiffness of gear at the output shaft [#f1]_ Damping :math:`N s/m` :math:`Nm s/rad` Damping of gear Inertia :math:`kg` :math:`kg m^2` Gear and motor inertia [#f2]_ ============== ==================== ================= ============================================================== .. [#f1] Torsional stiffness, usually referred as :math:`C_{t21}` in datasheets. Calculated as quotient of applied to torque to the output shaft and its resulting twist. (The input shaft is fixed) :math:`C_{t21} = \Delta T / \Delta\phi` .. [#f2] Total inertia as sum of rotor inertia and gear inertia observed from the drive side. -------- Coupling -------- Link selection to represent the motor. The controller output (force/torque) will be applied to the selected link.
