Spring

Ideal linear rotational spring.

This component models an ideal linear rotational spring. The torque tau generated by the spring is proportional to the difference between the relative angle of rotation phi_rel across its flanges and its unstretched angle phi_rel0. The constant of proportionality is the spring constant c. The relationship is defined by Hooke's law for rotational systems:

$$\begin{gathered} \tau =c( \\ ph{i}_{rel}- \\ ph{i}_{rel0}) \end{gathered}$$

This component extends from PartialCompliant

Usage

Ideal linear rotational spring.

This component models an ideal linear rotational spring.
The torque `tau` generated by the spring is proportional to the
difference between the relative angle of rotation `phi_rel`
across its flanges and its unstretched angle `phi_rel0`.
The constant of proportionality is the spring constant `c`.
The relationship is defined by Hooke's law for rotational systems:

math \tau = c (\phi_{rel} - \phi_{rel0})
