TE3: Speed/torque coupling, master-slave

12.1

Brief description

A master-slave coupling is a speed setpoint coupling between a master and slave axis -
performed at the position controller level - with and without torque equalization control. The
coupling can be permanently closed or can be dynamically closed and opened and
reconfigured. For multi-slave applications, a master axis can also be assigned several slave
axes.
Possible applications of a master-slave coupling include:
• Increase the power for mechanically coupled drives
• Compensating gear and gear tooth flank play by entering a pre-tensioning torque
