Relative Angle Sensor

Relative angle sensor

Modelica Standard Library

	Description
	The Relative Angle Sensor component generates an output signal proportional to the relative angle between two attached rotational flanges.

	Equations
	$y = K_{toUnit} φ_{rel} φ_{rel} = φ_{b} - φ_{a}$ $τ_{a} = - τ_{b} = 0$

Variables

Name	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$φ_{rel}$	$rad$	Angle between flanges	phi_rel
$φ_{x}$	$rad$	Angle of flange $x, x \in \{a, b\}$	flange_x.phi
$τ_{x}$	$N m$	Torque at flange $x, x \in \{a, b\}$	flange_x.tau
$K_{toUnit}$		Conversion factor to selected units

Connections

Name	Description	Modelica ID
${flange}_{a}$	Rotational flange	flange_a
${flange}_{b}$	Rotational flange	flange_b
$y$	Sensor output	y

Parameters

Name	Default	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$toUnit$	$rad$		Units of output signal	toUnit
