Abstract: The following describes a new integrated approach to the problem of designing high speed mechanisms. Employing a nonlinear programming formulation, it allows both the kinematic parameters and the ...

Abstract: This paper represents Part 2 of a two-part investigation on balancing devices for planar linkages. The theory shown in Part 1 is applied to the development of an experimental machine for ...

Abstract: A new theory for linkage force balancing machines is presented. These devices make it possible to remove the residual shaking forces of theoretically fully force balanced mechanisms. The required ...

Abstract: A three-counterweight technique for simultaneously minimizing the maximum values of such dynamic reactions as the bearing force, the input moment, and the shaking moment of a constant input speed ...

Abstract: A new partial force balancing method for four-bar linkages, which allows the prescribing of the maximum shaking force, is presented. This two-counterweight method is based on the controlled ...
