Torque between axis group members

The torque between two axis group members is explained in detail by means of the schematic view of a gear wheel driven by two axis group members.

If the torque between the axis group members is set to "0" and a setpoint torque of 120 Nm is required, both axis group members will deliver 60 Nm each.

However, if the torque between the two axis group members is set to 50% of the nominal motor torque, the second axis group member will deliver 90 Nm and the first one only 30 Nm. This means a torque difference of 60 Nm would result as tension based on the assumption that both motors have a nominal torque of 120 Nm each.

The direction of the tension is indicated by the sign of the torque ratio. If a tension of -50 % of the nominal torque is defined without load, the first axis group member would deliver 30 Nm and the second one -30 Nm.
