Simulation of drive power in mechatronic systems

Abstract

Abstract The results of research on determining the parameters and circuit solutions of traction drives of funicular cars are presented in this paper. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that the funiculars, the bodies of which have an articulated joint, possess the greatest advantages. It is effectually to use three-phase AC machines with permanent magnets as traction electric motors. The mechanical part of the drive must contain a speed transformer with a gear rack-wheel type gearing. The wheels of the running gears perform the function of holding the car on the track structure. The traction force is performed in a gearing, the rack of which is placed between the rails of the track structure. The given method for calculating the power of the drive motor made it possible without question to determine its dependence on the angle of inclination of the railroad bed.
