Industrial Servo Control Systems: Fundamentals And Applications, Revised And Expanded

by George W. Younkin

Overview

Written by a seasoned expert, this authoritative and informative guide presents the technologies in the calculation of brushless DC motor time constants, material on drive sizing, and case studies illustrating key topics. The author details hardware specifications related to the operation of machine service drives and outlines troubleshooting methods for problems concerning machine nonlinearities, inertia, drive stiffness, and friction. He highlights recently developed simulation methods used to predict, assess, and improve the performance of service systems and their components and covers the function and assembly of drive systems, drive resolutions, drive ratios, and duty cycles.

Editorial Reviews

...The author has a long professional career working in the machine tool industry, and thus brings a wealth of knowledge associated with the design of such control systems to the book...a useful addition to a number of older, classic texts...which describe the design of hydraulic and electric servo position and velocity control systems... "...extremely useful for the design of servo control systems...should be on the shelf of control engineers and libraries to serve as a useful...reference source for servo system design.

Applied Mechanics Reviews

Applies servo control theory to real-world problems, and presents hardware specifications and servo drive classifications vital to the operation of machine servo drives. Part I provides pictorial examples of hardware, explains servo drive components and how to put them together, and discusses types of servo drives. Part II reviews analogs and differential equations, discusses transfer functions and block diagrams, and describes engineering methods. Contains a glossary, a list of key constants and variables, and sample hydraulic and electrical drive sizing forms. For engineers and students. Annotation c.
