Design and Analysis of a New XYZ Parallel Flexure Stage

In this paper, the design of a new compliant XYZ totally decoupled parallel-kinematic nanopositioning stage based on flexure mechanism is presented, which is driven by PZT actuators. The output of the flexure stage is enlarged by a compound amplifier of three order based on bridge principle with the amplification ratio of As which is larger than the ratio of As for one simple amplifier. The thr...

Elastic Averaging in Flexure Mechanisms: a Multi-beam Parallelogram Flexure Case-study

Over-constraint is an important concern in mechanism design because it can lead to a loss in desired mobility. In distributed-compliance flexure mechanisms, this problem is alleviated due to the phenomenon of elastic averaging, thus enabling performance-enhancing geometric arrangements that are otherwise unrealizable. The principle of elastic averaging is illustrated in this paper by means of a...
