The block is designed to simulate a backlash between two translatory moving bodies. The block is based on the block Translatory motion stopper with identical stops located symmetrically relative to zero.
The relative angular position and relative angular speed are calculated by the formulas:




where:
- s – relative position, m
- sC and sR – positions of bodies at ports "C" and "R", respectively, m
- v – relative speed, m/s
- vC and vR – speeds at ports "C" and "R", respectively, m/s
