Relative Position Sensor

Measure the relative position between a pair of translational flanges

Modelica Standard Library

	Description
	The Relative Position Sensor component generates an output signal proportional to the relative position between two translational flanges.

	Equations
	$y = K_{toUnit} (s_{b} - s_{a})$ $f_{a} = - f_{b} = 0$

Variables

Name	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$f_{x}$	$N$	Force applied to ${flange}_{x}, x \in \{a, b\}$	flange_x.f
$s_{x}$	$m$	Absolute position of ${flange}_{x}, x \in \{a, b\}$	flange_x.s
$K_{toUnit}$		Conversion factor to selected units

Connections

Name	Description	Modelica ID
${flange}_{a}$	Translational flange	flange_a
${flange}_{b}$	Translational flange	flange_b
$y$	Sensor output	y

Parameters
