Parameter Description
Armature inductance Armature winding inductance in henries. Ls as shown in the configuration of the machine’s electrical system.
Armature resistance Armature winding resistance in ohms. Rs as shown in the configuration of the machine’s electrical system.
Step angle Step angle in degrees. Used to calculate N.
Torque constant Torque constant in N•m/A. If neither this value nor Ke are specified on the datasheet, Kt can be estimated from any sample on the static holding torque (Th) and rated current curve.
Speed constant Speed constant in V•s/rad. This is typically equal to Kt. This is Ke in the Ea1 and Eb1 equations.
Detent torque Detent torque in N•m.
Shaft inertia J<sub>rotor</sub> on the machine model diagram in <a href="/help/components/machine-modeling/">Machine modeling</a>.
Shaft friction This is F<sub>rotor</sub> on the machine model diagram in <a href="/help/components/machine-modeling/">Machine modeling</a>.
Initial angular speed Rotational measurement of the shaft angle in rad/s at the start of the simulation.
Initial shaft angle Initial shaft angle in radians.
