EFFECTS OF MAXIMUM OVERSHOOT AND SETTLING TIME WHEN BACKLASH IS PRESENT IN A SECOND ORDER SERVOMECHANISM

Abstract

In order to investigate the effects of gear train backlash on the performance of second order servomechanisms, an automatic digital computer was utilized to obtain solutions of numerous second order servo problems. Solutions were obtained for variations of motor and load inertias, motor and load frictions, combined system damping coefficient, and backlash angle, throughout the practical range of these parameters. The data generated by the digital computer solution has been analyzed and presented in graphical form for use in estimating the performance of an arbitrary second order servo system with backlash.
