Effects of Backlash in the Second Order Servo

Abstract

By means of an automatic digital computer solutions were obtained for a number of second order servo problems with backlash in the gear train. A complete range of solutions was obtained with variations in load friction, motor friction, load inertia, motor inertia, damping coefficient for the combined operation, and backlash angle. These data are presented in chart form suitable for the servo design engineer to estimate performance of an arbitrary second order system with backlash. The program was conducted on the Model 1604 Computer, and this program is presented with explanations of the manner in which the differential equations were solved. From data generated by the computer phase plane plots are drawn as a further illustration of the results of this thesis, and a sample problem is included to show application of the design charts.
