Description
Block Rotational Spring It is an ideal mechanical rotary spring, described by the following equations:
Where:
|
Torque transmitted through the spring |
|
Coefficient of elasticity |
|
Relative displacement (spring deformation) |
|
Initial position (spring displacement) |
|
The absolute angular positions of the ports are R and C, respectively |
|
Relative angular velocity |
|
Time |
The positive direction of the block is from port R to port C. This means that the torque is positive if it acts in the direction from R to C.
Ports
R — rod
rotational mechanics
A mechanical port of rotation corresponding to a shaft, that is, a moving body.
C — case
rotational mechanics
A mechanical rotation port corresponding to the body, that is, a stationary body.
