Modeling, simulation, and testing of constant tension system on winch

Masteroppgave i mekatronikk MAS500 2011 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Here we present a dynamical simulation of a hydraulic constant tension [CT] system in SimulationX. The purpose of the simulation is to check the similarity of the simulated system and the real system. The real system is a 10 ton winch with CT function where the results from this test are compared with the results of the simulated system. We have successfully tested the winch system with CT function. This was done using pressure transmitters and flow sensors placed on the hydraulic motor blocks in combination with a load cell and a winch encoder to measure its behavior. All data from these sensors were logged and saved…
