Torque

Input signal acting as external torque on a flange

Modelica Standard Library

	Description
	The Torque component generates a torque proportional to an input signal. The Use Support Flange boolean parameter enables a support flange on the housing. When true (checked) the support flange must be connected in the drawing. When false the component is internally fixed to ground.

	Equations
	$τ_{flange} = - τ$ $if Use Support Flange then τ_{support} = - τ$ $φ = φ_{flange} - {\begin{array}{c} φ_{support} & Use Support \\ 0 & otherwise \end{array}$

Variables

Name	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$φ$	$rad$	Angle of flange with respect to support	phi
$φ_{flange}$	$rad$	Angle of flange	flange.phi
$φ_{support}$	$rad$	Angle of support	support.phi
$τ$	$N m$	Accelerating torque acting at flange	tau
$τ_{flange}$	$N m$	Torque at flange	flange.tau
$τ_{support}$	$N m$	Torque at support	support.tau
