Model of a Rotating Disc Driven by Two Solenoids for Teaching Mechatronic Systems Engineering

Teaching mechatronic systems engineering should include theories as well as real world experiments. A rotating disc driven by two solenoids is presented as a new experimental setup. Mathematical equations for modelling of the system are given. Quantization and simplification are considered in the model. A validation of the model is carried out and checks the correctness but also the limitation of operation for the model. Finally, the use of the setup in education is presented.
