1-9-2 Torsional Stiffness
When a torque is applied to the output flange of the actuator with the motor locked,
the resulting torsional wind up is near proportional to the torque.
The upper right figure shows the torsional stiffness characteristics of the output flange
applying torque starting from zero to plus side [+T
0] and minus side [–T0].
This trajectory is called torque-torsion characteristics which typically follows
a loop 0→A→B→A’→B’→A as illustrated. The torsional stiffness of the
FHA-C actuator is expressed by the slope of the curve that is a spring rate
(wind-up) (N
•m/rad).
The torsional stiffness may be evaluated by dividing torque-torsion characteristics
curve into three major regions. The spring rate of each region is expressed
K
1, K2, and K3 respectively.
K
1: spring rate for torque region 0-T1
K2: spring rate for torque region T1-T2
K3: spring rate for torque region over T2
The wind-up for each region is expressed as follows:
