TorqueSensor

Ideal sensor to measure the torque between two splines

This component extends from PartialRelativeSensor

Usage

TorqueSensor()

Connectors

• spline_a - (Spline)
• spline_b - (Spline)
• tau - This connector represents a real signal as an output from a component (RealOutput)

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} 0 &= \mathtt{spline\_b.tau}\left( t \right) + \mathtt{spline\_a.tau}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{spline\_a.phi}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{spline\_b.phi}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{spline\_a.tau}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{tau}\left( t \right) \end{align} \]
