Linear Flexible Joint with Inverted Pendulum
The linear flexible inverted pendulum challenges students to gain advanced modeling and control experience by controlling both the damping of a flexible link, and an unstable inverted pendulum.
Linear Flexible Joint
Item Number:
782490-01
The Linear Flexible Joint experiment will help your students learn how to model and control real-world dynamic systems such as flexible couplings and gearboxes.
The Linear Flexible Joint is a passive linear cart that connects to the Linear Servo Base Unit through a linear spring. As an implementation of the classical mass-damper-spring quadratic system, the linear flexible joint is an ideal textbook-type experiment. The experiment is useful in the study of vibration analysis and resonance.
Features
- High-resolution optical encoder to sense cart position
- Easy-connect cables and connectors
- Fully compatible with MATLAB®/Simulink® and LabVIEW™
