This paper proposed a novel concept of active balancer for dynamic balancing of planar mechanisms. Somewhat similar to a vibration absorber, the active balancer is designed as an independent device, which is placed outside of the mechanism to be balanced and can be installed easily. It consists of a two degree-of-freedom (DOF) linkage with two input shafts, one of which is connected to the output shaft of the mechanism to be balanced by a joint coupling, and the other one is driven by a controllable motor. Flexible dynamic balancing adapted to different working conditions can be achieved by varying speed trajectories of the control motor actively. A design method is developed for selecting suitable speed trajectories and link parameters of the two DOF linkage of the balancer to meet various design requirements and constraints. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the design procedure and to verify the feasibility of the proposed concept.

In spherical mechanisms, the instantaneous pole axes play the same role as the instant centers in planar mechanisms. Notwithstanding this, they are not fully exploited to study the kinematic behavior of spherical mechanisms as the instant centers are for planar mechanisms. The first step to make their use possible and friendly is the availability of efficient techniques to determine them. This paper presents a general method to determine the instantaneous pole axes in single-dof spherical mechanisms as a function of the mechanism configuration. The presented method is directly deduced from a algorithm already proposed by the author for the determination of the instant centers in single-dof planar mechanisms.

A unified complex number development of four position planar finite position theory is presented. This formulation shows that Burmester circlepoint-centerpoint theory specializes to include slider points, concurrency points, poles, and point position reduction by proper interpretation of the trivial roots of the general synthesis equations. Thus a single design technique can be used for the multiposition synthesis of most pin or slider-jointed planar mechanisms. Four position function, path, or motion generating linkages can all be designed in this manner.

Abstract A method for synthesizing the types of spatial as well as planar mechanisms is expressed in this paper by using the concept of phase diagram in metallurgy. The concept represented as a type synthesis technique is applied to (a) planar mechanisms with n degrees of freedom and simple loop, (b) spatial mechanisms with single degree of freedom and simple loop, to enumerate all the possible mechanisms with physically realizable kinematic pairs. Based on the technique described, a set of new reciprocating mechanisms is generated as a practical application.

Abstract This paper presents a general method for the analysis of planar mechanisms consisting of rigid links connected by rotational and/or translational joints. After describing the links as vectors in the complex plane, a simple recipe is outlined for formulating a set of polynomial equations which determine the locations of the links when the mechanism is assembled. It is then shown how to reduce this system of equations to a standard eigenvalue problem, or if preferred, a single resultant polynomial. Both input/output problems and tracing-curve equations are treated.
