Static balancing is used to reduce the actuation stiffness in a translational stage compliant mechanism. The planar and monolithic compliant mechanism is preloaded using a buckling beam of which the top part is guided by a double folded flexure. Hooks, that lock the top part of t ...

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 (G ...
