Abstract

A control system for providing precise speed control for a rotary air modulator, and particularly for providing synchronized speed control as between two or more rotary air modulators. A common reference frequency is used for controlling rotational speed of one or more rotary air modulators wherein each modulator deploys an individual feedback system responsive to the reference frequency input to provide precise rotational speed and angular position coordination and, therefore, synchronism of frequency and phase output as between two or more individual modulators. The individual feedback systems include feedback and summation circuitry which derives angular velocity correction, angular position correction and hydraulic pressure drive variation for thereafter correcting and maintaining precise speed control of the rotary drive system.
