DESIGN OF MAGNETIC CONTROL AMPLIFIER XM-13A

Abstract

The design is described of the magnetic control amplifier XM-13A which drives the azimuth, roll and pitch systems of the bomb director AN/ASB-1. The MK 12 and Mk 16 400-c servo motors are used. The control amplifier drives both motors with essentially the same dynamic characteristics. The final design of the control amplifier contains 2 half-wave bridge-type magnetic amplifiers which has 2 stages each. One amplifier drives the motor and provides gain in the tachometer compensation loop while the other amplifier is used with positive integral feedback around it to give integrating action. The cascaded integrating network gives the system a zero velocity error.
