About This Product
The control task is to vary the beam angle so the ball stays where it is wanted. Because the system will not settle on its own, it mirrors problems such as a rocket or missile at launch, which needs active control to stop it going unstable and toppling over. Enquiries from Central African Republic, Venezuela, Albania, Togo, Chile and Guinea for the Ball and Beam Apparatus receive an export quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Ball and Beam Apparatus need active feedback control?
The system is a double integrator, so it is naturally unstable. It needs active feedback control using phase-advance methods to hold the ball position.
