Towards static balancing of compliant mechanical micro motion amplifiers: classifying compliant amplifiers & developing a preloading mems mechanism

At this moment there are more than 150 different designs of CMMA in existence. To aid the designer to develop a new or improved CMMA or choose what the design to use, a classification system is developed during the literature research. It is based on the geometrical advantage (GA) of the CMMA, and on the input and output port motion paths. Their...
