Rotational Bearing Friction

Coulomb friction in bearings

 

Description

Parameters

Modelica Standard Library

Description

The Rotational Bearing Friction (or Bearing Friction) component models Coulomb friction in bearings, i.e., a frictional torque acting between a flange and the housing.

Torque Table

The τpos parameter is a two-dimensional table (array) that specifies the torque at given angular velocities. Each row has the form w&comma;τw. The first column must be ordered, 0w1<w2<<wm. To add rows, right-click on the value and select Edit Matrix Dimension. Only linear interpolation is supported.
