Patent ID: 7775120

Claim:
An electromechanical actuator test system, comprising: an inertia simulator adapted to be coupled to a test actuator and configured to simulate the inertia of at least a portion of a system moved by the test actuator; an electromechanical actuator coupled to the inertia simulator and operable to be selectively energized, the electromechanical actuator operable, upon being energized, to supply a first load to the inertia simulator to simulate at least one or more dynamic system loads; a motor controller in operable communication with the electromechanical actuator, the motor controller coupled to receive first actuator commands and operable, in response thereto, to selectively energize the electromechanical actuator; a second load actuator coupled to the inertia simulator, the second load actuator coupled to receive second actuator commands and operable, in response thereto, to supply a second load to the inertia simulator to simulate at least one or more steady-state system loads; and a test system control operable to supply the first actuator commands and the second actuator commands.
