A working model of a reversible servosystem constituting the basic element of an electromechanical manipulator for handling radioactive and chemical materials was developed. The aim in developing the system was to achieve a greater number of degrees of freedom than is possible with mechanical manipulators equipped with belt or gear drives. To make it possible for the operator to control the displacement of an object to be moved as well as the force exerted on the object, the system uses two separately excited d-c motors (a driving motor and an actuating motor) whose armatures are connected in series. Mathematical relationships characterizing the performance of such a system take into account compensation of friction and of the moment of inertia by introducing into the system a signal proportional to the difference in the moments applied to it. Stability was achieved under various operating conditions. (OTS)
