Actuators

Description

The Second Order Nonlinear Actuator block outputs the actual actuator position using the input demanded actuator position and other dialog parameters that define the system.

Dialog Box

Natural frequency
The natural frequency of the actuator. The units of natural frequency are radians per second.
Damping ratio
The damping ratio of the actuator. A dimensionless parameter.
Maximum deflection
The largest actuator position allowable. The units of maximum deflection should be the same as the units of demanded actuator position.
Minimum deflection
The smallest actuator position allowable. The units of minimum deflection should be the same as the units of demanded actuator position.
Maximum rate
The fastest speed allowable for actuator motion. The units of maximum rate should be the units of demanded actuator position per second.
Initial position
The initial position of the actuator. The units of initial position should be the same as the units of demanded actuator position.

Inputs and Outputs

The input is the demanded actuator position.

The output is the actual actuator position.
