Abstract

The paper presents and analyses rapid prototyping methods for the dynamic emulation of mechanical loads. Approaches can be applied in design, testing and validation of the mechatronic systems propelled by electric drives. Actual system (prototype) is replaced by the torque controlled electromechanical load, for which the required torque is calculated through the closed-loop control algorithm. The active load is connected mechanically to the drive shaft, using the clutch. Also possible applications in the control design for variable speed and torque drives are described. For the illustration of the method emulation of the pump mechanism is given.
