Quanser 2DOF Gantry Pendulum
Two Servo Motor Bases are connected with 4 beams, forming an arm with 2 degrees of freedom. The additional pendulum can be mounted in two ways:
- Directed upwards creates an inverted pendulum experiment with two degrees of freedom
- Directed downwards creates a gantry model
Students learn more advanced concepts of controlling a system with 2 degrees of freedom.
The kit includes all elements necessary to quickly start the station: amplifier, controller, Matlab or LabVIEW module as well as educational materials for students.
Basic technical parameters:
- Base parameters
- High quality servo motor (6V, 1A, 6000 RPM)
- Potentiometer for measuring the position (± 5V)
- Quadrature encoder (4096 pulses / revolution)
- Gears with the possibility of changing the gear ratio
- Complete teaching materials compatible with NI LabVIEW and Matlab / Simulink included
- Open architecture allows to create own control algorithms
- Module parameters:
- Pendulum length: 336.5 mm
- Single mass of the connecting beam: 0.065 kg
- Pendulum encoder sensitivity: 0.0879 degrees / pulse
