Translational Speed (Controlled)

Purpose

Maintain variable translational speed

Library

Mechanical / Translational / Sources

Description

The Controlled Translational Speed maintains a variable linear speed between its two flanges regardless of the force 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 a mass.

Parameters

Second flange

Controls whether the second flange is accessible or or connected to the translational 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

Force

The generated force flowing from the unmarked flange to the marked flange, in newtons \((\mathrm{N})\).

Speed

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