Techniques to synthesize Inherently Force Balanced Mechanisms

In mechanisms and machines, elements' motions can generate reaction forces and moments on the base of the mechanism, which are called shaking forces and shaking moments. These induce vibrations of the base, which create noise, wear and fatigue problems and reduce the accuracy of the systems. Dynamic balancing is a solution to eliminate these...

Reducing settling time in high acceleration applications of macro scale robotic manipulators with dynamic balancing

High accelerations in unbalanced robotic manipulators can induce significant base vibrations, which reduces precision and increases settling time. These vibrations are caused by fluctuating reaction forces and reaction moments exerted on the base by the manipulator. Dynamic balancing eliminates these fluctuations and therefore improves...
