Freewheel

Ideal freewheel (flange_b.tau >= 0)

Library

Mechanics/Rotational/Components

Description

This is a model of an ideal freewheel component. Its mode of operation depends on the relative angular velocity

    w_rel = flange_b.w - flange_a.w

between flange_b (right) and flange_a (left). For w_rel > 0 these flanges are not connected. Otherwise, the flanges are rigidly connected and flange_b can be driven by flange_a.

Ports

  • Port 1 at left position: implicit input fixedport numbered 1.
  • Port 1 at right position: implicit output fixedport numbered 1.
