8.14.1 Mechanical Analysis
Frequency Characteristics
The motor is used to cause the machine to vibrate and the frequency characteristics from the
torque to the motor speed are measured to determine the machine characteristics. For a nor-
mal machine, the resonance frequencies are clear when the frequency characteristics are plot-
ted on graphs with the gain and phase (Bode plots). The Bode plots show the size (gain) of the
response of the machine to which the torque is applied, and the phase delay (phase) in the
response for each frequency. Also, the machine resonance frequency can be determined from
the maximum frequency of the valleys (anti-resonance) and peaks (resonance) of the gain and
the phase delay.
For a motor without a load or for a rigid mechanism, the gain and phase change gradually in
the Bode plots.
