Abstract :
Equations are derived describing the variation of the gain constant and the time constant of a 2-phase servomotor as affected by the magnitude of the control field voltage. These parameters are evaluated from several simple measurements in the laboratory and are then verified by measuring the time constant experimentally. The use of these nonlinear characteristics in the analysis and design of feedback control systems is discussed.
