Overview Project Goal Design Background Pulling Mechanism Conclusion. ![]() A wide variety of concrete examples of systems designed based on theses approaches are presented in details. PolyMUMPS Flexure Design Garet Kim Jessica McAlister Lydia Tse. It also covers more general aspects of the kinematic design of multi-degrees of freedom mechanism exploiting the state of the art approaches of parallel kinematics. The book presents the basic principles underlying flexure mechanism design, the most important flexures and the key formulas for their proper design. There should be a pencil-and-paper approximation that. It is dedicated to engineers, scientists and students working in these fields. Designing flexures involves developing a model, using FEA, and experimentally verifying the models. It gathers the knowledge of experts in flexure mechanisms design having worked in the key fields of high precision robotics, aerospace mechanisms, particle accelerators and watch making industry. This book comes within the scope of this technological evolution. The flexure design is compact, simple, and low-cost to fabricate, and the concept can potentially be used for other applications that involve support of structures with large thermal expansion. Thanks to these unique properties flexure mechanisms have become an inescapable technology in all environments where friction, lubrication, wear, debris or mechanical backlash are forbidden : outer space, vacuum, cryogenics, high radiation, ultra-clean environments, etc. As a result, mechanisms can be manufactured monolithically and, by proper choice of materials and geometry of the flexures, lead to lifetimes of tens of millions of cycles without any wear or change in the geometry or forces of motion. The rigid segments of the mechanism are connected to each other via elastically deformable joints called flexures which are springs whose stiffnesses are designed to be very high in the directions where the joint has to constrain relative motion and very flexile in the directions where freedom of motion is required. This gets around the above-mentioned limitations. Flexure mechanisms rely on a radically different physical principle to fulfill the bearing function : the elastic deformation of beams and membranes. Consequently, these bearings exhibit friction forcers limiting the motion precision, they require lubrication, they undergo wear, they produce debris and they have a limited lifetime. Conventional mechanisms rely on sliding or rolling motions between solid bodies in order to fulfill the bearing function. Flexures are a design feature used by design engineers (usually mechanical engineers) for providing adjustment or compliance in a design. to constraint the relative motion of the segments it connects, while leaving a freedom of motion in some specific directions. The function of the joints is to act as bearings, i.e. They are generally composed of rigid segments connected to each other by articulated joints. Further experimental Results and Analytical Results are compared and minimum deviation is found.Mechanism constitute the mechanical organs of machines. Experimental set-up consists of Flexural mechanism, Dial Gauge, Weight Pan and Weights, Pulley, String, Small metal strip, Optical Bread Board etc. The resultant displacement is measured on Dial Gauge Indicator. ![]() ![]() Further Mechanism is actuated with the help of weight pan and weights. Static Analysis of mechanism is carried out on FEA tool to determine static deflection of motion stage. Modelling of flexural mechanism to provide accurate scanning of comparatively larger range at a higher speed. The merits of using flexure is complete mechanism can be from single monolith. It is relatively compact in design as compared to rigid link mechanism. This mechanism offers zero backlash, frictionless motion and high order repeatability. A flexural mechanism generates relative motion between fixed support and motion stage using flexibility of material. Planer XY Flexurel Mechanisms has various applications in precision motion mechanisms.
