A type of ActuatorDrive

Properties

ActuatorDriveType: string

Defines the specific type of ActuatorDrive model in use. For a RotaryDrive object, this must always be set to a value of RotaryDrive.

TorqueResponse: object (a type of ActuatorResponse), optional

The definition of how the pitch actuator responds to pitch demand.

Can be any of the following types:

GearRatio: number, optional

The combined gearbox and pinion to ring gear ratio (gearbox ratio multiplied by pnion to ring gear ratio).

default = 1

GearEfficiency: number, optional

The efficiency between actuator motor and bearing.

default = 1

MotorInertia: number (kgm²), optional

The rotational inertia of the motor, referred to the high speed side of the pitch gearbox.

default = 0

BrakeTorque: number (Nm), optional

The maximum restraining brake torque applied when the safety limit switches are tripped or permanently on in idling and parked simulations.

default = 0

TorqueLimits: object(PitchTorqueLimits), optional

The limits on the torque that the actuator can apply under normal power.

BackupPowerTorqueLimits: object(PitchTorqueLimits), optional

The limits on the torque that the actuator can apply under backup power.

TorqueLimitsOnceSafetySystemTripped: object(PitchTorqueLimits), optional

The limits on the system once the safety system has been tripped. These may be different from those during standard operation.

LinearSpringDamper: object(LinearSpringDamper), optional

The definition of a linear spring damper.
