Performance Analysis and Improved Design on the Compliant Micro-Displacement Amplification Mechanism

Abstract:

By analysing the structural characteristics of the compliant micro-displacement amplification mechanism and the examples of the compliant micro-displacement amplification mechanisms with different link length and link angel, the combined compliant structure formed with flexure hinges and link is important component, the length and the angel of the link affect the thickness ratio and length ratio of the combined compliant structure, which plays a key role in amplification of the mechanism. The design method is proposed aiming at improving the amplification, which is used in the improved design of the compliant micro-displacement amplification mechanism. The amplification analysis of the improved mechanism is done, which proves the validity and rationality of the improved design .
