Abstract
A design basis for multiloop positional servomechanisms is developed by co-ordinating the specifications, dynamic characteristics, interferences, and uncertainties. The design basis arises from a consideration of the generation of torques by the system. The limitations of the system performance are distinguished from component characteristics. When the concept of frequency-dependent coefficients is employed, it is shown that the performance may be comprehended from knowledge of second-order systems. Seven models are examined. Estimates of useful values of the parameters for each model are confirmed by analog studies.
