Component Descriptions (part 2 of 2)
COMPONENT
DESCRIPTION
Actuator
The actuator incorporates the armature of a DC linear motor. It slides in
and out of the actuator assembly. Air-film bearings support and guide the
actuator, allowing it to slide freely in and out. The actuator moves when
the motor coils are sequentially energized by the linear motor drive.
Displacement Gage
This optional transducer measures small displacements with high
resolution. The device can engage the actuator at any point in the
actuator’s 100-mm displacement.
Force Transducer
The force transducer (sometimes called a force sensor or load cell) can be
attached to the reaction fixture or to the end of the actuator. The force
sensor measures how much force is being applied to the specimen. It can
measure both tension and compressive forces. The force sensor is
connected to a DC conditioner in the system controller.
Base
The base accepts the actuator assembly and the reaction fixture. The base
material is a high-damping cast polymer composite that absorbs frame
vibrations. A T-slot allows the reaction fixture to be positioned at any
point in the 500-mm test area.
Reaction Fixture
The reaction fixture completes the drive train (which consists of the
components between the actuator and the reaction frame). It is mounted to
the T-slot of the baseplate. It is moved along the T-slot to accommodate
the length of the test specimen or accessories. The force transducer or
other fixtures can be mounted to the reaction fixture. See “Accessories” on
page 61 for related information.
Air Filtration
Dry filtered air is used to supply the air-film bearing within the actuator
assembly. There are three options for providing air of the necessary
quality. See “Air Supply Specifications” on page 21.
(not shown)
Motor Drive
(not shown)
16
Introduction
The motor drive is a remote chassis that processes the command signal
from the system controller to drive the DC linear motor in the load unit.
The motor driver has no operator controls except a power switch.
The Tytron 250 Load Unit uses a DC linear motor as a force generator within the
actuator assembly. The actuator incorporates an air-film bearing for near frictionfree operation. The load unit requires a motor drive to process the test command
from the system controller and create a motor drive signal.
Depending on the control mode chosen, the force transducer, displacement gage,
or linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT) will provide the feedback
signal to the system controller. The controller compares the desired test profile
with the appropriate sensor feedback signal and generates a motor command
signal. The command signal (processed by the motor drive) drives the linear
motor to match the test profile.
Load unit
The load unit includes the actuator assembly, the base, the reaction fixture, and a
force transducer. The actuator assembly consists of a DC linear motor integrated
with an air-film bearing, and a displacement transducer. The base is a highdamping cast polymer composite with an integral T-slot plate. The cast iron
reaction fixture can be positioned at any point along the T-slot while maintaining
alignment between the actuator and load cell. The force transducer mounts either
on the reaction fixture or on the actuator. The T-slot also allows for a variety of
specimen fixturing and accessory mounting schemes.
An internally mounted LVDT monitors the position of the actuator. The LVDT is
an electromechanical device that provides an output voltage that is proportional
to the position of its movable core (which moves with the actuator). As the
actuator moves, the output from the LVDT indicates how far the actuator has
moved from a zero reference point (its center, or null position). An optional highresolution displacement transducer provides a more precise positioning
capability.
The linear motor contains integral Hall effect devices (HEDs) that provide the
motor drive with accurate commutation information. This ensures smooth
operation with extremely low velocity and force ripple.
Motor drive
The motor drive unit amplifies the
analog command generated by the
system controller, and creates a motor
drive signal. The drive also uses the
output from the HEDs to commutate the
motor. Commutation is the process by
which the drive provides the correct current, in the correct direction, in the
correct winding, at the correct time to produce mutual attractive and repulsive
forces between the motor’s windings and magnets that combine to create smooth
motion.

Force transducer
634.08X-3X
The transducer assembly is attached between the
moving and stationary portions of the actuator
assembly. The stationary side is attached below
the actuator. The moving portion engages with a
horizontal probe within the actuator. This allows
the transducer to be engaged with the actuator at
any location along its 100-mm stroke length. The
transducer has a bidirectional breakaway feature
that disengages the device if the actuator
overtravels, preventing transducer damage.
S/N 1234567
The optional high-resolution displacement gage
measures the displacement of the actuator during
a test.
l
Displacement gage
assembly (optional)
The force transducer (sometimes called a load cell) measures the tensile or
compressive forces being applied to the test specimen. It can be attached either to
the reaction fixture, or the end of the actuator. The load cell is connected to a
conditioner in the system controller.
Because the Tytron 250 System is configured to run horizontally, the load cells
used with the system will experience both bending and off-axis shear due to the
mass of any grip, fixture, and specimen. This bending moment and off-axis shear
is in addition to any loads, both static and dynamic, imposed directly on the
specimen.
As these load cells are very sensitive, there are limits to the amount of mass that
can be installed on the force transducer. Do not exceed these rules of thumb
without consulting the Tytron 250 group at MTS.
Two types of load cells are used with the system. The normal system load cell
(calibrated for ±250 N) is a symmetric bending beam cell, where orientation is
not important. (It can be rotated without changing its ability to withstand a side
moment.) The lower force cells (calibrated for ±25 N and ±5 N) are overloadprotected S-Beam cells that must be orientated on the system with the long axis
vertical. If this is not done there is little ability to withstand off-axis moments.

Introduction
Air supply/filtration
The air-film bearing within the actuator assembly requires very clean and dry air
to function properly. Three options are available for providing air of the required
quality.
•
A simple connection kit where the on-site compressed air meets the required
specification.
•
A filter/dryer kit where the on-site compressed air needs to be brought up to
the required specification.
•
An air supply kit where there is no on-site compressed air supply (or the
available air supply is poor).
CAUTION
Do not operate the load unit with the air supply off, or with poor quality air.
Doing so can permanently damage the actuator.
Be sure to use a clean, dry, and reliable air supply.
For the requirements of the air distribution system, see “Air Supply
Specifications” on page 21.

Introduction
Specifications
The load unit incorporates a precision air-film bearing that provides near frictionfree motion of the actuator. The quality of the air supply is critical for long and
trouble-free performance. The bearing requires a consistent source of clean, dry
air. Poor air quality will cause the small orifices in the bearing to erode or
become clogged, causing damage to the air bearing.
CAUTION
Do not operate the load unit with the air supply off, or with poor quality air.
Doing so may permanently damage the actuator.
There are three options for suppling air to the Tytron 250 load unit:
Air Interface Kit
•
Air Interface Kit (part number 053-317-701) for existing, clean air
•
Air Filtration Kit (part number 053-317-801) filters existing air
•
Air Supply Kit (part number 053-317-901) supplies clean air
This interface provides an on/off valve, quick connect fittings, and hose. Use this
option when the air available on-site meets the following specifications.

Air Filtration Kit
Air Supply Kit
This kit provides air filtration and desiccation. It includes an on/off valve, air
filters, an air dryer, quick connect fittings, and hose. The air filtration system is
not intended to filter and dry excessively wet, dirty, or oily air. Use this option
when the air available on-site does not meet the above criteria, but does meet the
following specifications.

This kit provides compressed air, air filtration, and desiccation. It includes an air
compressor, an on/off valve, air filters, an air dryer, quick connect fittings, and
hose. It requires 230 V AC (8.2A), single phase, of 50 or 60 Hz power. Use this
option when air is not available, or cannot meet the criteria of the other kits.
Dry nitrogen gas could be used instead of compressed air. In this case, you may
still need filtration to meet the particulate specification, though moisture and oil
content should not be a problem. The capacity of the supply system is also a
consideration, as a bottle of compressed gas has a finite lifetime at the required
flow rate. The best application of this would be an existing building-wide
nitrogen system supplied from a large liquid nitrogen Dewar, or a nitrogen gas
generator.

Overview
Overview
Safety Information Overview
MTS test systems are designed to generate single-axis or multi-axial motions and
forces simultaneously in a controlled laboratory environment and impart these
motions and forces into a test specimen that is secured to the system.
When you prepare to operate the system and during system operation, ensure the
following:
26
Safety Information
•
Do not use or allow personnel to operate the system who are not
experienced, trained, or educated in the inherent dangers associated with
high-performance test equipment and who are not experienced, trained, or
educated with regard to the intended operation as it applies to this test
system.
•
Do not disable safety components or features (including limit detectors,
door switches, or proximity switches/detectors).
•
Do not attempt to operate the system without appropriate personal safety
gear (for example, hearing, hand, and eye protection).
•
Do not apply energy levels that exceed the maximum energies and velocities
for the system design. Refer to the system specifications.
•
Do not use specimens that are combustible, flammable, pressurized, or
explosive.
•
Do not modify the system or replace system components using parts that are
not MTS component parts or effect repairs using parts or components that
are not manufactured to MTS specifications.
•
Do not operate the system in an explosive atmosphere.
•
Do not use the system in a test area where uncontrolled access to the test
system is allowed when the system is in operation.
WARNING
System installation, maintenance, setup, and operation require specialized
training.
Improper installation, maintenance, setup, or operation of the system by
unqualified personnel can cause death or injury to personnel and damage to
equipment.
Do not allow unqualified personnel to perform any of the system installation,
maintenance, setup, or operating procedures. Installation, maintenance, setup,
and operating procedures should only be performed by trained personnel.
Safety Information
27
Hazard Zones
Hazard Zones
System Hazard Zones
The area around and including the test system is considered hazardous.
Generally, hazards result from motions that occur during system operation.
However, there are latent forces, overturning, and settling/unexpected movement
hazards that can occur prior to or after system operation, during specimen
installation, or during maintenance and repair.
The hazard zone includes the entire system and an additional area of at least 4
feet around the system perimeter.
Whenever personnel enter this defined zone they should be outfitted with
adequate and appropriate safety attire (for example, safety glasses). Never wear
loose fitting clothing when in the test area.
Crush zone
Crush Point Hazards
It is important to stay clear of any potential crush points when the system is
operating. Know where the crush points are in your system and protect yourself
and others from those crush points with appropriate safety devices. The
following paragraphs describe crush points and precautions to take while
working around crush points.
Locations
Precautions
A crush point exists between the actuator and the reaction fixture (area shown
above).
Keep clear of any mechanical linkage that moves within a closed area. If the
linkage should move (when the system starts or due to mechanical failure), very
high forces can be present that could pinch, cut, or crush anything in the path of
linkage movement.
Never allow any part of your body to enter the path of machine movement or to
touch moving machinery, linkages, cables, specimens, etc. These present serious
crush points or pinch points. Unexpected motion can occur even when the
machine is de-energized.

Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/Tagout
Identify Lockout/Tagout Points
The purchase, installation, and use of electrical lockout/tagout devices is a
customer responsibility. The purpose of these devices is to provide an effective
means of isolating the test system from electrical power sources associated with
your system.
MTS recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) as an
independent electrical power source. In addition, there should be a single point in
the electrical supply that provides complete electrical isolation when a lockout/
tagout switch is installed. Before you make contact with any circuit, test the
circuit with a properly operating circuit tester to ensure that power is off.

Site Precautions
Site Precautions
WARNING
The equipment is designed to operate in an environment where precautions
have been taken to minimize hazards to personnel and the equipment.
Ignoring hazards and failing to take necessary precautions can result in
injury or death to personnel, and damage to equipment.
Do not install or operate the system equipment in a hazardous environment.
WARNING
Hazardous situations or conditions can arise suddenly and without warning
at all parts of the system.
If immediate action is not taken to remove the hazard or remove personnel
from the hazard, serious injury or death can result.
Do not operate the system unless you have full view of the equipment. If operation
of the system takes place in a remote control room (separated from the
equipment), it should be designed so that the operator has full and unobstructed
view of the system equipment. Make sure that ergonomic issues are considered in
the layout of the operating area to limit operator stress and fatigue.

Safety Practices
Safety Practices
General Safety Practices
If you have system related responsibilities (that is, if you are an operator, service
engineer, or maintenance person), you should study this manual carefully before
you attempt to perform any test system procedure.
You should receive training on this system or a similar system to ensure a
thorough knowledge of your equipment and the safety issues that are associated
with its use. In addition, you should gain an understanding of system functions
by studying the other manuals supplied with your test system. Contact MTS for
information about the content and dates of training classes that are offered.
It is very important that you study the following safety information to ensure that
your facility procedures and the system’s operating environment do not
contribute to or result in a hazardous situation. Remember, you cannot eliminate
all the hazards associated with this system, so you must learn and remain aware
of the hazards that apply to your system at all times. Use these safety guidelines
to help learn and identify hazards so that you can establish appropriate training
and operating procedures and acquire appropriate safety equipment (such as
gloves, goggles, and hearing protection).
Each test system operates within a unique environment which includes the
following known variables:
•
Facility variables (facility variables include the structure, atmosphere, and
utilities)
•
Unauthorized customer modifications to the equipment
•
Operator experience and specialization
•
Test specimens
Because of these variables (and the possibility of others), your system can
operate under unforeseen circumstances that can result in an operating
environment with unknown hazards.
Improper installation, operation, or maintenance of your system can result in
hazardous conditions that can cause death, personal injury, or damage to the
equipment or to the specimen. Common sense and a thorough knowledge of the
system’s operating capabilities can help to determine an appropriate and safe
approach to its operation.
Observe the prescribed safety practices before and during system operation.
Safety Practices Before System Operation
Before you apply drive power to the test system, review and complete all of the
safety practices that are applicable to your system. The goal, by doing this, is to
improve the safety awareness of all personnel involved with the system and to
maintain, through visual inspections, the integrity of specific system
components.
34
Safety Information
Safety Practices
Read all manuals
Study the contents of this manual and the other manuals provided with your
system before attempting to perform any system function for the first time.
Procedures that seem relatively simple or intuitively obvious may require a
complete understanding of system operation to avoid unsafe or dangerous
situations.
Locate and read
hazard placards/labels
Find, read, and follow the hazard placard instructions located on the equipment.
These placards are placed strategically on the equipment to call attention to areas
such as known crush points and electrical voltage hazards..
Locate Lockout/tagout
points
Know where the lockout/tagout point is for all of the electrical supply energies
associated with your system to ensure that the system is isolated from these
energies when required.
Know facility safe
procedures
Most facilities have internal procedures and rules regarding safe practices within
the facility. Be aware of these safe practices and incorporate them into your daily
operation of the system.
Locate Emergency
Stop buttons
Know the location of all the system Emergency Stop buttons so that you can
stop the system quickly in an emergency. Ensure that an Emergency Stop button
is located within 2 meters (6 feet) of the operator at all times.
Know controls
Before you operate the system for the first time, make a trial run through the
operating procedures with the power off. Locate all hardware and software
controls and know what their functions are and what adjustments they require. If
any control function or operating adjustment is not clear, review the applicable
information until you understand it thoroughly.
Have first aid available
Accidents can happen even when you are careful. Arrange your operator
schedules so that a properly trained person is always close by to render first aid.
In addition, ensure that local emergency contact information is posted clearly and
in sight of the system operator.
Know potential crush
and pinch points
Be aware of potential crush and pinch points on your system and keep personnel
and equipment clear of these areas.
Know electrical
hazards
When the system electrical power is turned on, minimize the potential for
electrical shock hazards. Wear clothing and use tools that are properly insulated
for electrical work. Avoid contact with exposed wiring or switch contacts.
Whenever possible, turn off electrical power when you work on or in proximity
to any electrical system component. Observe the same precautions as those given
for any other high-voltage machinery.
Keep bystanders
safely away
Keep bystanders at a safe distance from all equipment. Never allow bystanders to
touch specimens or equipment while the test is running.
Wear proper clothing
Do not wear neckties, shop aprons, loose clothing or jewelry, or long hair that
could get caught in equipment and result in an injury. Remove loose clothing or
jewelry and restrain long hair.
Remove flammable
fluids
Remove flammable fluids from their containers or from components before you
install the container or component. If desired, you can replace the flammable
Safety Information
35
Safety Practices
fluid with a non-flammable fluid to maintain the proper proportion of weight and
balance.
Check bolt ratings and
torques
To ensure a reliable product, fasteners (such as bolts and tie rods) used in MTSmanufactured systems are torqued to specific requirements. If a fastener is
loosened or the configuration of a component within the system is modified, refer
to the system and component assembly drawings (located on the System
Documentation CD) to determine the correct fastener, fastener rating, and torque.
Overtorquing or undertorquing a fastener can create a hazardous situation due to
the high forces and pressures present in MTS test systems.
On rare occasions, a fastener can fail even when it is correctly installed. Failure
usually occurs during torquing, but it can occur several days later. Failure of a
fastener can result in a high velocity projectile. Therefore, it is a good practice to
avoid stationing personnel in line with or below assemblies that contain large or
long fasteners.
Practice good
housekeeping
Keep the floors in the work area clean. Do not leave tools, fixtures, or other items
not specific to the test, lying about on the floor, system, or decking.
Protect hoses and
cables
Protect electrical cables from excessive temperatures that can cause the cables to
harden and eventually fail. Ensure that all cables have appropriate strain relief
devices installed at the cable and near the connector plug. Do not use the
connector plug as a strain relief.
Protect all system hoses and cables from sharp or abrasive objects that can cause
the hose or cable to fail. Never walk on hoses or cables or move heavy objects
over them. Route hoses and cables away from areas that expose them to possible
damage.
Record changes
If you change any operating procedure, write the change and the date of the
change in the appropriate manual.
Provide test area
guards
Use protective guards such as cages, enclosures, and special laboratory layouts
when you work with hazardous test specimens (for example, brittle or
fragmenting materials or materials that are internally pressurized).
Do not disable safety
devices
Your system may have active or passive safety devices installed to prevent
system operation if the device indicates an unsafe condition. Do not disable such
devices as it may result in unexpected system motion.
Use appropriately
sized fuses
Whenever you replace fuses for the system or supply, ensure that you use a fuse
that is appropriately sized and correctly installed. Undersized or oversized fuses
can result in cables that overheat and fuses that explode. Either instance creates a
fire hazard.
Provide adequate
lighting
Ensure adequate lighting to minimize the chance of operation errors, equipment
damage, and personal injury. You need to see what you are doing.
Safety Practices While the System Operates
Wear appropriate
personal protection
36
Safety Information
Wear eye protection when you work with breakable specimens or when anything
characteristic to the specimen could break apart.
Safety Practices
Wear appropriate protection ( boots, suits, respirators) whenever you work with
fluids, chemicals, or powders that may irritate or harm the skin, respiratory
system, or eyes.
Provide test area
guards
Specimen temperature
changes
Handle chemicals
safely
Use protective guards such as cages, enclosures, and special laboratory layouts
when you work with hazardous test specimens (for example, brittle or
fragmenting materials or materials that are internally pressurized).
During cyclic testing, the specimen temperature can become hot enough to cause
burns. Wear personal protection equipment (gloves) when handling specimens.
Whenever you use or handle chemicals (for example, batteries, contaminated
parts, electrical fluids, and maintenance waste), refer to the appropriate MSDS
documentation for that material and determine the appropriate measures and
equipment required to handle and use the chemical safely. Ensure that the
chemical is disposed of appropriately.
Know system
interlocks
Interlock devices should always be used and properly adjusted. Interlock devices
are designed to minimize the chance of accidental damage to the test specimen or
the equipment. Test all interlock devices for proper operation immediately before
a test. Do not disable or bypass any interlock devices as doing so could allow
operation regardless of the true interlock condition. The Reset/Override button
is a software function that can be used to temporarily override an interlock while
attempting to start the machine and gain control of the system.
Know system limits
Never rely on system limits such as mechanical limits or software limits to
protect you or any personnel. System limits are designed to minimize the chance
of accidental damage to test specimens or to equipment. Test all limits for proper
operation immediately before a test. Always use these limits and adjust them
properly.
Do not disturb sensors
Do not bump, wiggle, adjust, disconnect, or otherwise disturb a sensor (for
example, accelerometer, extensometer, load cell, displacement transduce, ) or its
connecting cable when electrical power is applied.
Ensure secure cables
Do not change any cable connections when electrical power is applied. If you
attempt to change a cable connection while the system is in operation, an open
control loop condition can result. An open control loop condition can cause a
rapid, unexpected system response which can result in severe personal injury,
death, or damage to equipment. Also, ensure that all cables are connected after
you make any changes in the system configuration.
Stay alert
Avoid long periods of work without adequate rest. In addition, avoid long periods
of repetitious, unvarying, or monotonous work because these conditions can
contribute to accidents and hazardous situations. If you are too familiar with the
work environment, it is easy to overlook potential hazards that exist in that
environment.
Stay clear of moving
equipment/avoid crush
points
Stay clear of mechanical linkages, connecting cables, and hoses that move
because you may get pinched, crushed, tangled, or dragged along with the
equipment. High forces generated by the system can pinch, cut, or crush anything
in the path of the equipment and cause serious injury. Stay clear of any potential
crush points. Most test systems can produce sudden, high-force motion. Never

1. Unpack the load unit.
A.
Inspect the load unit for damage and report any damage to both the
carrier and MTS. Contact your nearest MTS office.
B.
Finish unpacking the load unit. Screw the four included (M12 x 1.75mm thread) lifting eyes into the four threaded inserts in the base (two at
each end). Use the eyes for attaching lifting straps or handles. The total
weight of the load unit without the reaction fixture is about 160 kg (350
lbs).
CAUTION
Do not lift or position the load unit using the actuator.
This will permanently damage the actuator.
Use the eyes attached to each end of the chassis to lift and position the load unit.
C.
Place the load unit on a table or stand capable of supporting its full
weight of 226 kg (500 lb). Remember that any accessories added to the
system also add to the system weight.
2. Ground the components.
The motor drive chassis and the system controller should be connected to
the same fused power circuit. The motor drive chassis is configured at the
factory for 100, 115, or 230 V AC applications.
Each system has its own internal grounding system. The load unit should be
grounded to the same point as the controller and the motor drive. A
grounding wire is provided to tie the load unit assembly directly to a
common grounding point. The ground on the load unit is marked on the
cabling panel.
Where electrical power is of poor quality (noise spikes, poorly regulated,
and so forth) or the ground system in the facility contains electrical noise,
attach a 4 AWG wire directly to a good earth ground point such as a 2-m
copper grounding rod driven at least 2 m into the ground. Grounding must
conform to local electrical codes.
3. Ensure the machine is level.
A level can be placd on the main cover and 90 degree angles to measure the
level lengthwise and widthwise of the machine. Use shims as required under
the isolation pads or mounting table legs to level the machine.
4. Go to “Installing the Air Supply/Filtration Kits” on page 43 and install the
appropriate kit.

If the two alignment fixtures mate, the load unit is aligned.
•
If the two alignment fixtures do not mate, the force transducer must be
adjusted. The force transducer can be adjusted with the screw mounting
it to the reaction fixture. The maximum torque for the mounting screw
is 6.3 Nm (56 lb in).
G.
Remove the alignment fixture.
H.
Install the grips (or any other accessories).
8. Go to “Tuning Considerations” on page 53 to tune the control modes for the
load unit.
Note
The force transducer, LVDT, and displacement gage should be calibrated
before performing any tuning procedures. Sensors purchased from MTS
Systems Corporation are usually already calibrated and include the
calibration data in the sensor I.D. module-imbedded in the sensor cable.
See your controller documentation for field calibration procedures.
After the load unit is installed and before it is put into use, you must tune
any control modes used with the load unit.
Use the tuning procedures described in your controller’s manual and
incorporate the tuning recommendations (see “Tuning Considerations” on
page 53).

include the following:
•
If the test requires a longer displacement than mid-displacement can
accommodate, reposition the actuator as needed.
•
If the test area (such as the length of the test specimen) requires the
actuator to be moved, reposition the actuator as needed.
3. Adjust the reaction fixture on the T-slot.
The reaction fixture can be slid along the T-slot imbedded into the load unit.
Position the reaction fixture so there is enough room for the force sensor,
test fixtures or grips, and a specimen. The position is not critical since the
actuator can be moved to finish the specimen installation. Tighten the
locking screw to clamp the reaction fixture in place. The maximum torque
for the locking screw is 45 Nm (33 lb ft).

4. Install the specimen.
Mount the specimen into the grip or fixture of the reaction fixture (using the
method required by the grip or fixture). Adjust the actuator so you can
mount the other end of the specimen into the grip or fixture attached to the
actuator.
5. If necessary, attach the displacement gage.
If you have the optional displacement gage and want to use it for the test,
complete this step. The actuator must be in its final position before the test.
Note
You will be working in a crush zone. Set the displacement interlock limits
for the LVDT at your controller.

Operation

Tuning the Tytron load unit is different from tuning a servohydraulic system.
This is due to the difference in the way the actuator works.
A servohydraulic actuator moves due to changes in fluid pressure on either side
of a moving piston. The velocity of the moving actuator is dependent on the fluid
flow rate into (and out of) the actuator. Thus, the actuator’s velocity is
proportional to the command signal applied to the servovalve.
The Tytron actuator moves due to changes in the force developed by the linear
motor inside it. The force generated by the motor is proportional to the command
signal applied to the motor drive. Thus, the actuator’s acceleration is
proportional to the command signal applied to the motor drive. For this reason,
tuning must be done a little differently from conventional servohydraulic tuning
methods.
Prerequisite
Procedure
Set up your controller to monitor signals on an oscilloscope (if available), or use
the scope supplied with the system controller software.
Tune the load unit in the following order:
Note
Tuning a control mode can vary substantially if a specimen is installed or
not installed. If possible, tune with no specimen first, and then tune with a
specimen installed.
1. Tune displacement without a specimen installed. Go to “Tuning
Displacement” on page 54 and complete the “Without a Specimen”
procedure then return to this procedure when done.
2. Tune the extensometer without a specimen installed. Go to“Tuning
Extensometers” on page 55 and complete the “Without a Specimen”
procedure then return to this procedure when done.
3. Go to “Installing a Specimen” on page 50 and install the specimen then
return to this procedure.
4. Go to“Tuning Force” on page 56 and complete the procedure then return to
this procedure when done.
Note
Depending on your test requirements, complete the one or both of the
following steps.
5. Tune displacement with a specimen installed. Go to “Tuning Displacement”
on page 54 and complete the “With a Specimen” procedure then return to
this procedure when done
6. Tune the extensometer with a specimen installed. Go to“Tuning
Extensometers” on page 55 and complete the “With a Specimen” procedure
then return to this procedure when done.
Operation
53
Tuning Displacement
When tuning displacement set up your controller as follows:
Without a specimen
•
Select the most appropriate sensor range based on the test requirements.
•
The command waveform should be a 1 Hz ramp (triangle).
•
The waveform amplitude can be determined by using either the test
amplitude or an amplitude equal to 10% of the selected range.
•
Initial PIDF settings are: P=1.0; I=0.5; D=0.025.
•
Monitor the LVDT transducer signal and the DC error signal. If a specimen
is installed, monitor load.
1. Increase the P (proportional gain) parameter and D (derivative gain)
parameter in small increments until the LVDT signal has a linear rise and
fall. If the actuator is oscillating at first, increase D until the actuator has a
smooth transducer output on the scope. The DC error signal response will
have the appearance of a step or square wave.
2. P gain will affect the rising and falling edge of the DC error step. Increase
the P gain term until slope of the rising and falling edges of the DC error
signal no longer continues to increase.
3. The D gain will attenuate overshoot and ringing (ripple) on the top and
bottom plateaus of the DC error signal.
4. The I (integral gain) tuning parameter will aid in adjusting the peak and
valley levels symmetrically around the desired mean. Monitor the peak and
valley level of the LVDT response and increase the I term until desired
mean is obtained.
Note
With a specimen
Tuning results at MTS Systems Corporation for displacement with no
specimen are approximately P=2.0, I=1.5, and D=0.4.
Tuning with a specimen will need increased amounts of “I” to gain good
response. Tuning with a specimen varies according to the stiffness of the
specimen.
1. Complete the tuning procedure without a specimen above.
2. With a specimen installed, verify that the load signal is stable when the
actuator is holding at a static LVDT level.
3. Specimen insertion will occasionally cause the actuator to oscillate.
Decreasing the D term is usually effective in minimizing the oscillations.
Try to maintain the highest permissible D value possible.
4. If a dynamic test is to be performed using LVDT control, it may be
necessary to increase the I gain to obtain the desired peak and valleys.
Exercise the specimen at the expected test end levels and increase the I term
to minimize the end level errors.
54
Operation
The extensometer control mode can be tuned with or without a specimen
installed. Set up your controller as follows:
Without a specimen
•
•
•
The waveform amplitude can be determined by using either the test
amplitude or an amplitude equal to 10% of the selected range.
•
The initial PIDF settings are: P=1; I=0.25; D=0.1.
•
Monitor the displacement gage signal and the DC error signal.
Some extensometers (such as a displacement gage) can be tuned without a
specimen.
1. Increase the P (proportional gain) parameter and D (derivative gain)
parameter in small increments until the displacement gage signal has a
linear rise and fall. If the actuator is oscillating at first, increase D until the
actuator has a smooth transducer output on the scope. The DC error signal
response will have the appearance of a step or square wave.
2. P gain will affect the rising and falling edge of the DC error step. Increase
the P gain term until slope of the rising and falling edges of the DC error
signal no longer continues to increase.
3. The D gain will attenuate overshoot and ringing (ripple) on the top and
bottom plateaus of the DC error signal.
4. The I (integral gain) tuning parameter will aid in adjusting the peak and
valley levels symmetrically around the desired mean. Monitor the peak and
valley level of the displacement gage response and increase the I term until
desired mean is obtained.
5. Complete the tuning procedure with a specimen below.
With a specimen
Some extensometers (such as a clip on gage) must be tuned with a specimen
installed. You will also need to monitor the load signal in this procedure. Tuning
with a specimen will need increased amounts of “I” to gain good response.
1. With a specimen installed, verify that the load signal is stable when the
actuator is holding at a static displacement gage level.
2. Specimen insertion will occasionally cause the actuator to oscillate.
Decreasing the D term is usually effective in minimizing the oscillations.
Try to maintain the highest permissible D value possible.
3. If a dynamic test is to be performed using displacement gage control, it may
be necessary to increase the I gain to obtain the desired peak and valleys.
Exercise the specimen at the expected test end levels and increase the I term
to minimize the end level errors.
Operation
55
Tuning Force
When tuning force (also called load), a specimen must be installed. Set up your
controller as follows:
•
•
•
The waveform amplitude can be determined by using either the desired test
amplitude or an amplitude that is equal to 25–50% of the maximum load
expected during the test.
•
Excite the specimen with a test command from the controller that best
represents the type of test being performed (such as tension/tension,
compression/compression, or tension/compression).
•
The initial PIDF settings are:
•
–
For a stiff specimen (carbon fiber) P=0.1; I=50.0; D=0.001
–
For an elastic specimen (plastic or mylar) P=5.0; I=5.0; D=1.0.
–
For a very elastic specimen (rubber) P=50.0; I=5.0; D=2.5.
Monitor the force transducer signal and the DC error signal.
Specimen stiffness has a direct bearing on the tuning parameters.
•
Stiff specimens may have I parameters as high as 4,000 to 8,000,
P gains of 0.2, and D gains of 0.002.
•
Softer, more elastic specimens tend to have increased P and D terms and less
I gain (such as P might be 400 while I is 3000).
Generally speaking, stiff specimens have larger integral (I) gain parameters and
softer specimens tend to have increased proportional (P) gain and smaller
amounts of I gain.
1. Begin by increasing the I parameter to create a step or square wave response
for the DC error signal. You will also notice that the load signal will have
linear rising and failing slopes resembling the command.
2. The sharpness of the slope for the DC error can be increased by adding P
gain. As a result of increased proportional gain (P), the top and bottom
plateaus of the DC error signal will show signs of overshoot and ripple.
Increase the D gain to minimize the overshoot and ripple present on the DC
error signal.

Displacement Gage
Displacement Gage
The displacement gage can be mounted below the actuator. The displacement
gage assembly is attached to the load unit with two screws. A fixture for the
displacement gage is mounted on a shaft in the actuator. Once the actuator is in
its starting position, the displacement gage attachment can be slid along the
mounting rod and positioned above the displacement gage assembly (where the
two components can be mated). The clamping screw presses a metal clamping
block to the mounting rod to secure the assembly.
This procedure installs the displacement gage fixture onto the actuator mounting
rod and installs the displacement gage assembly to the load unit.
1. Loosen the clamping screw of the displacement gage attachment.
2. Unscrew the attachment mounting rod and slide it out just enough to allow
the displacement gage attachment to be slipped over the end.
CAUTION
The clamping block (located in the displacement gage attachment) can slip
out of its mounting and into the interior of the actuator assembly.
The clamping screw can damage the ceramic mounting rod if the clamping
block is not present.
Be sure the clamping block remains in its mounting when moving the
displacement gage attachment.
3. Slide the mounting rod into the displacement gage attachment. Then, insert
the mounting rod back into its original position and tighten it.
