Ball screws are components that are used to convert rotary motion into linear motion with relatively high mechanical efficiency. This property makes them an ideal choice for missile fin actuation systems where the demand for limited volume and high torque exists. Because of the structure of these systems, high torque demand comes with a high axial force on the ball screw, which consists of a nut, a shaft and balls in between. Especially, on high rotational speeds, the dynamic load capacity of ball screw plays an important role on the overall system performance. Hence, examining this property of the ball screw is critical. Since these application-specific ball screws have short strokes for accelerating the nut or shaft to the desired rotational speed, it is challenging to apply desired load to the nut in this limited period of time. In this study, a test rig is designed to test and verify the dynamic load capacity of ball screws with variable rotational speeds and load factors. Furthermore, mathematical modeling of the test rig is derived and the coefficients of the derived model are estimated through system identification principles by utilizing experimental data. Moreover, a robust force controller acting on the ball screws is synthesized and the mathematical model of the system with uncertainties is analyzed under the effect of the controller in simulation and test environment. Lastly, surplus force caused by the axial movement of the ball screws is decreased through a proposed feedforward controller. Simulation and experiment results show the efficiency of the designed robust feedback and the proposed feedforward controllers on the system.

Theoretical and experimental determination of dynamic friction coefficient for a cable-drum system BAYAR, GÖKHAN; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2010-09-18) Cable-drum systems are utilized to convert the rotary motion of a drum into a translational motion of a linear stage connected to the cable. These systems are preferred where low backlash and high stiffness is expected. They are commonly employed in machines like elevators, photocopy machines, printers, plotters etc. For machines having long working ranges, cable-drum systems employing a high resolution encoder offers a practical low cost alternative in position sensing. In most traditional machines and equ...
Coriolis Vibratory MEMS Gyro Drive Axis Control with Proxy-Based Sliding Mode Controller Ozturk, Derya Unsal; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (2022-03-01) MEMS (micro electrical mechanical systems) gyroscopes are used to measure the angular rate in several applications. The performance of a MEMS gyroscope is dependent on more than one factor, such as mechanical imperfections, environmental condition-dependent parameter variations, and mechanical-thermal noises. These factors should be compensated to improve the performance of the MEMS gyroscope. To overcome this compensation problem, a closed-loop control system is one of the solutions. In this paper, a close...
Analytical solutions to orthotropic variable thickness disk problems Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Varlı, Ekin (2016-01-01) An analytical model is developed to estimate the mechanical response of nonisothermal, orthotropic, variable thickness disks under a variety of boundary conditions. Combining basic mechanical equations of disk geometry with the equations of orthotropic material, the elastic equation of the disk is obtained. This equation is transformed into a standard hypergeometric differential equation by means of a suitable transformation. An analytical solution is then obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. The ...
Design, Development and Implementation of Sensorless Digital Control of an Electric Motorization Dida, Abdelkader Hadj; Bourahla, M.; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Benghanem, M. (2014-09-24) The most industrial applications use the variation of the torque, speed and/or position in process, for which extremely severe specifications are needed. In the field of the drive of the electric machines, the elimination of the mechanical speed sensor can present an economic interest and improve safety of operation. One thus tries to make fulfill the speed measurement by implementing in a Digital signal processor (DSP) an algorithm of speed estimation using the current and voltage acquisition. Those method...
Novel position measurement and estimation methods for CNC machine systems Kılıç, Ergin; Dölen, Melik; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) Precision control of translational motion is vital for many CNC machine tools as the motion of the machinery affects the dimensional tolerance of the manufactured goods. However, the direct measurement along with the accurate motion control of machine usually requires relatively expensive sensors i.e. potentiometers, linear scales, laser interferometers. Hence, this study attempts to develop reference models utilizing low-cost sensors (i.e. rotary encoders) for accurate position estimation. First, an indire...
