Abstract
Abstract. In the aerospace field, the precision and stiffness for 2R1T (R denotes the rotation and the T denotes the translation) degree of freedom (DOF) space posture adjustment mechanisms are required. Compliant parallel mechanisms (CPMs) with a suitable constrained branch (SCB) have the advantages of high precision and high stiffness. Based on screw theory, a new type synthesis approach for a 2R1T compliant parallel mechanism with a suitable constrained branch is proposed. The proposed approach is an improvement of the freedom and constraint topology approach. It combines with other methods, including the rigid-body-replacement method, the principle of symmetry, etc. In order to obtain CPMs with a suitable constrained branch, the criterion for the type synthesis is presented. Using this proposed type synthesis approach, a series of CPMs is obtained. They include, but are not limited to, the existing typical 2R1T CPMs with a suitable constrained branch. Furthermore, it identifies the correctness and effectiveness of the approach by analyzing the DOF of the synthesized mechanism. This approach is also suitable for the type synthesis of 4, 5, and 6 DOF compliant parallel mechanisms with a suitable constrained branch.
