Abstract

We propose a new weight compensation mechanism with a non-circular pulley and a spring. We show the basic principle and numerical design method to derive the shape of the non-circular pulley. After demonstration of the weight compensation for an inverted/ordinary pendulum system, we extend the same mechanism to a parallel link manipulator, analyzing the required torques with Jacobian matrices. Finally, we carry out hardware experiments.
