PS600 Loading Bridge

The laboratory experimental setup “Loading Bridge” contains the technical realization of a practical plant together with an actuator. The laboratory setup is based on the plant “Position Control PC60”.


The basic system includes an actuator as well as the mechanical setup (PC60) with a premounted loading bridge extension kit (Option 60-30). The extension kit is represented by a gear motor with a winch combined with an incremental encoder to detect the rope length and another incremental encoder to measure the rope angle. Only one lead with a multi-polar terminal provides the electrical connections. The loading bridge mechanics is mounted on top of the cart of the position control plant by means of 4 knurled screws. By a three-phase synchronous drive, a toothed wheel, a toothed belt and a clutch, the cart can be driven along a guiding bar over a length of approximately 1.5m. The documentation includes sections for assembly and start-up, the technical data as well as the theoretical background with the mathematical model of the plant.
