The Torque Motor component needs a defined torque on the input port $\mathrm{\tau }$ coming from a reference signal or an external control loop (e.g. a speed controller). Optionally it is possible to define a rigid drive line between motor and machine (roller) side. It considers an inertia for the motor as well as for a gear including a gear ratio. Motor losses can be determined as speed depending losses. The component has a speed signal output, w_meas, the rotational speed of the geared output shaft.

The Torque Motor component can be visualized in the 3-D Workspace and 3-D Playback Window to show the placement in the R2R web line and present the user-defined tension zones. This is optional and supports the interpretation of a R2R web line. The position of the motor in the x-y plane is needed as well as the roller length, the motor length, and the motor diameter. The color can be also defined by the user.

These parameters are accessible when Show motor (visMotor) is checked (true).
