Create a speed control actuator
Procedure
Choose Home tab → Electrical group → Speed Control.
In the graphics window, select the angular joint you want to move using the actuator.
You can also select a joint in the Physics Navigator, from the Joints and Constraints folder.
In the Constraints group, set the following:
- Speed = 60
- Limit Acceleration = (checked)
- Max Acceleration = 20
- Limit Jerk = (checked)
- Limit Torque = (checked)
In the Name box, type a name for the actuator, and then press Enter.
Click OK.
Note: the Speed Control command lives in the Electrical command group on the Home tab, alongside the other internal-motor-style actuators (Force/Torque Control, Position Control) — reflecting that it models an internal electric drive rather than a purely mechanical constraint.
