    Opposing rotational motion

    Thanks for the response! I'd like for the device to allow unconstrained motion under normal conditions, and I want it to begin opposing motion above a certain threshold angular velocity/acceleration. For example, it should oppose motion above an input angular velocity of 30 rad/s (just an example).

    Opposing rotational motion

    Hi all! I am looking to design and build a device that resists rotational motion. I am thinking about some sort of damper, like a dashpot, but focused on opposing angular motion. Any thoughts or currently-existing devices I can look to?
