Load actuating servomechanism apparatus includes dynamic regeneration to equalize and overcome a frequency-varying load/load drive train mechanical resonance. The drive circuitry comprises a per se conventional primary motor speed controlling rate feedback loop including a cascaded rate signal command source, summing error-signal producing node, and loop frequency response shaping filter and driver amplifier for exciting a load driving motor, and a rate tachometer signal feedback element connecting a measure of the motor output speed to a subtractive input of the summing node. To broaden the response band of the primary feedback circuit and accommodate a mechanical resonance otherwise interfering therewith, a secondary, positive feedback path supplements the input rate command with a signal dependent upon motor current, and thus upon motor load. Accordingly, output load drive automatically increases as motor current increases when a load drive retarding mechanical resonance is encountered. |
