IdealGearR2T

Gearbox transforming rotational into translational motion.

This component models an ideal gearbox that transforms rotational motion from a rotational spline connector (relative to support_r) to translational motion at a flange connector (relative to support_t). The transformation is defined by the ratio parameter.

The kinematic relationship between the relative angular displacement on the rotational side and the relative linear displacement on the translational side is:

$$\begin{gathered} spline. \\ phi-suppor{t}_r. \\ phi=\text{ratio} \\ cdot(flange.s-suppor{t}_t.s) \end{gathered}$$

The corresponding force-torque relationship, ensuring power conservation (ideal gear), is:

$$\begin{gathered} \text{ratio} \\ cdotspline. \\ tau+flange.f=0 \end{gathered}$$

The component extends PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational, which provides the rotational connectors (spline, support_r with variables phi, tau) and translational connectors (flange, support_t with variables s, f).

This component extends from PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational

Gearbox transforming rotational into translational motion.

This component models an ideal gearbox that transforms rotational motion from a
rotational `spline` connector (relative to `support_r`) to translational motion
at a `flange` connector (relative to `support_t`). The transformation is defined
by the `ratio` parameter.

The kinematic relationship between the relative angular displacement on the
rotational side and the relative linear displacement on the translational side is:

math spline.\phi - support_r.\phi = \text{ratio} \cdot (flange.s - support_t.s)

The corresponding force-torque relationship, ensuring power conservation (ideal gear), is:

math \text{ratio} \cdot spline.\tau + flange.f = 0

The component extends `PartialElementaryRotationalToTranslational`, which provides
the rotational connectors (`spline`, `support_r` with variables `phi`, `tau`) and
translational connectors (`flange`, `support_t` with variables `s`, `f`).
