Hospital beds are equipped with two essential drives: one for adjusting the height of the entire bed and another for tilting the foot section. In reality, such systems often use spindle drives.
This case study demonstrates the deployment and retraction of an aircraft landing gear with bearing friction using the ASOM kinematics software. The model views the gear's movement along the aircraft axis and is applicable only during flight before touchdown.
This example shows how to implement joint friction for revolute joints in kinematic models in ASOM. With the aid of joint friction elements, a pin diameter and a friction coefficient can be managed for each revolute joint.
