Finite-slip friction brake

Applies bounded friction torque against relative shaft motion; its command sets the available braking torque.

Implementation ID: friction-brake
Reviewed: 2026-10-30

Behavior

Applies bounded friction torque against relative shaft motion; its command sets the available braking torque.

Interface

Select a terminal or signal to inspect its meaning. This is a conceptual interface, not simulation output.

Ports and observed outputs
Name	Direction	Unit	Meaning
`a`	conserving	rotational	Shaft side A
`b`	conserving	rotational	Shaft side B
`Brake command`	input	fraction	Brake command is a directed fraction input to this component, expressed in fraction. Its binding supplies information; it is not a conserving connection.
`heat`	output	W	Directed output available to compatible consumers: heat.

Signal inputs

These directed signals carry information. Conserving terminals exchange the quantities of their physical domain.

Signal outputs

Outputs can supply compatible inputs. Connections and values are inspected in the model that owns them.

Current authoring interface provenance

The interactive graphic is exported from the same Studio help descriptor. Source base: e248d21a9902225f1075624f23e7628b54cdb7cc. File content hashes in the public descriptor catalog identify the exact source snapshot. Existing numerical checks above retain their own verification scope.
