Torsional Rectilinear Plant Apparatus Model MT 151

Sci-tech Rectilinear Plant Apparatus Model MT 151 is used to explain and experiment on the behavior of mass-spring-damper systems.  The drive motor enables investigation of forced responses, while the three masses, three springs and single damper can be arranged in a variety of formations. Encoders linked to the masses communicate the three mass positions to the computer for analysis. The mechanism features adjustable masses, interchangeable springs and adjustable air damping. The system provides vivid demonstrations of elementary topics such as rigid body PID control, lead/lag compensators, phase and gain margin, trajectory tracking, and regulation – as well as advanced high order collocated and non-collocated system control.
