On the design of reactionless 3-DOF planar parallel mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
A reactionless machine will not apply reaction forces and moments on the mounting base during motion. This article presents the theory for design of a reactionless planar parallel mechanism. The salient features of this design are: (i) it uses auxiliary parallelograms to locate the center of mass of each leg at the base, (ii) choice of geometric and inertial parameters to satisfy the reactionless conditions and/or selection of trajectory to achieve a reactionless design. We illustrate the reactionless feature of such a mechanism through computer simulations. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Synthesis of Reactionless Spatial 3-DoF and 6-DoF Mechanisms without Separate Counter-Rotations
In this paper we present the synthesis of novel reactionless spatial three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DoF) and 6-DoF mechanisms without any separate counter-rotation, using four-bar linkages. Based on the conditions of dynamic balancing of a single planar four-bar linkage developed elsewhere, the spatial problem is shown to be equivalent to ensuring that the inertia tensor of reactionless four-bar l...
متن کاملOn the Synthesis of a Reactionless 6-dof Parallel Mechanism Using Planar Four-bar Linkages
This paper addresses the synthesis of a novel reactionless spatial 6-DOF parallel mechanism using four-bar linkages without any counter-rotations. The mechanism is first described and its kinematics is discussed. A numerical example of the reactionless 6-DOF mechanism is given in this paper and, with the help of the dynamic simulation software ADAMS, it is shown that the mechanism is reactionle...
متن کاملOn the Development of Reactionless Spatial 3-dof Parallelepiped Mechanisms
In this paper, the design and dynamic balancing of a novel 3DOF parallel mechanism referred to as parallelepiped mechanism are addressed. Two types of actuation schemes of the mechanism are considered. The balancing equations are derived by imposing that the center of mass of the mechanism is fixed and that the total angular momentum is constant with respect to a fixed point. Optimization is pe...

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study on the efficiency of planar parallel mechanisms, considering their kinetostatic performance and also, their workspace. This aim is approached upon proceeding single- and multi-objective optimization procedures. Kinetostatic performances of ten different planar parallel mechanisms are analyzed by resorting to a recent index, kinematic sens...
