Dimensional Synthesis of Bennett Linkages

چکیده
This paper presents a synthesis procedure for a spatial 4R linkage, known as Bennett’s linkage. It is known that the two solutions of the RR chain synthesis equations form a Bennett linkage. While analytical solutions to these equations have been developed previously, this paper uses the cylindroid that is known to exist for a Bennett linkage to simplify the solution process. It is interesting that geometric constraint associated with the spatial 4R chain simplifies the solution of the RR chain design equations. An example design is presented.

Type Synthesis of Three-Degree-of-Freedom Spherical Parallel Manipulators
A spherical parallel manipulator (also called an orientational parallel manipulator or rotational parallel manipulator) refers to a threedegree-of-freedom (3-DoF) parallel manipulator in which the moving platform undergoes a 3-DoF spherical motion or rotates about a fixed point. In this paper, we propose a new method for the type synthesis of non-overconstrained (isostatic) spherical parallel m...
متن کاملFactorization of Rational Curves in the Study Quadric and Revolute Linkages
The research on this paper started with an attempt to understand the geometry of Bennett linkages [1–6] from the point of view of dual quaternions. The group of Euclidean displacements can be embedded as an open subset of the Study quadric in the projectivization of the dual quaternions regarded as a real vector space of dimension eight. Rotation subgroups and and their composition then get an ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Spatial RPRP Closed Linkages for a Given Screw System
The dimensional synthesis of spatial chains for a prescribed set of positions can be applied to the design of parallel robots by joining the solutions of each serial chain at the end effector. This design method does not provide with the knowledge about the trajectory between task positions and, in some cases, may yield a system with negativemobility. These problems can be avoided for some over...
متن کاملAn Extensible Java Applet for Spatial Linkage Synthesis
A spatial linkage is defined by a workpiece supported by several serial chains. The task of the linkage is defined by specifying rigid positions for the workpiece that approximate a desired workspace. Spatial serial chains can be synthesized and combined to form more complicated linkages. Because there are many serial chains available for this design process, we have developed a Java-based arch...
متن کاملChecking Mobility and Decomposition of Linkages via Pebble Game Algorithm
The decomposition of linkages into Assur graphs (Assur groups) was developed by Leonid Assur in 1914 to decompose a linkage into fundamental minimal components for the analysis and synthesis of the linkages. In the paper, some new results and new methods are introduced for solving problems in mechanisms, bringing in methods from the rigidity theory community. Using these techniques, an investig...
