Rotational Speed (Constant)

Purpose

Maintain constant rotational speed

Mechanical / Rotational / Sources

Description

The Constant Rotational Speed maintains a constant angular speed between its two flanges regardless of the torque required. The speed is considered positive at the flange marked with a “+”.

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.

Speed

The magnitude of the speed, in \(\left( \frac{\mathrm{rad}}{\mathrm{s}} \right)\). The default value is 1.

Probe Signals

Torque

The generated torque \(\tau\) flowing from the unmarked to the marked flange, in newton-meters \((\mathrm{Nm})\).

Speed

The angular speed, in \(\left( \frac{\mathrm{rad}}{\mathrm{s}} \right)\).
