Abstract:

Spring balancing is a method commonly applied for statically balanced mechanism. Its field covers applications where inertia forces are relative small compared to the weight of the components. Spring balancing is also a lighter alternative to balancing with counterweights. This type of balancing can be often found in mechanical applications, biomechanics and robotics. One of the most acknowledged models of spring balanced mechanisms is the Anglepoise Lamp. This method is well known in the field of mechanisms balancing, but it has not yet been applied for balancing of the slider-crank mechanism. Nevertheless elastic components have previously been considered. In this paper, the dynamic balancing of the slider-crank mechanism by means of springs is proposed. The method aims to balance the shaking forces without the addition of masses to the mechanism. A series of multibody simulations will illustrate the effects of the proposed balancing method.

Keywords:

Dynamic balancing, spring balancing, shaking force.
