The production industries have repeatedly combated the problem of system modelling. Successful control of a system depends mainly on the exactness of the mathematical model that predicts its dynamic. Different types of studies are very common in the complicated challenges involving the estimations and approximations in describing nonlinear machines are based on a variety of studies. This article examines the behaviour and stability of holonomic mechanical system in the the arbitrary parameter sets and functional configuration of forces. Differential equations of the behaviour are obtained for the proposed system on the ground of general mechanical theorems, kinetic and potential energies of the system. Lagrange’s equations of the first and second kind are introduced, as well as the representation of the system in the generalized coordinates and in Hamilton’s equations. In addition to the numerical calculations applied the system, the theoretical structures and clarifications on which all of the methods rely on are also presented. Furthermore, static equilibriums are found via two different approaches: graphical and numerical. Above all, stability of motion of undisturbed system and, later, the system that works under the action of an external disturbance was inspected. Finally, the stability of motion is reviewed through Lagrange–Dirichlet theorem, and Routh and Hurwitz criteria. Linearized equations are obtained from the nonlinear ones, and previous conclusions for the stability were proved.
