MODELING OF A MECHATRONIC MODULE BASED ON A LINEAR MOTION ACTUATOR

This article is devoted to the modeling of a mechatronic module based on linear motion actuator, including the processes of modeling the dynamic, kinematic, and control parameters of the mechatronic module, as well as the design and functional characteristics of the drives providing linear motion. In modern manufacturing enterprises and automated production systems, the need for mechatronic modules with high accuracy, speed, and reliability is increasing. In addition, mechatronic systems based on linear motion play a key role in the efficient control of technological processes, increasing positioning accuracy, and reducing energy consumption. The article presents mathematical models that allow one to construct kinematic and dynamic equations of a mechatronic module based on linear motion actuator, calculating mass, friction forces, inertia, coil inductance, and external loads as system parameters. The efficiency of the modeling process based on these mathematical models is mainly due to the correct choice of the integration method and the corresponding software; the computer model of the mechatronic module was built in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The results obtained through computer modeling allow us to determine the optimal parameters of the mechatronic module, evaluate its design and functional characteristics, and conduct a comparative analysis of the adequacy of theoretical calculations performed for inertial and dynamic transient processes.
