An Improved Capacitive Sensor for Detecting the Micro-Clearance of Spherical Joints

Due to the flexible and compact structures, spherical joints are widely used in parallel manipulators and industrial robots. Real-time detection of the clearance between the ball and the socket in spherical joints is beneficial to compensate motion errors of mechanical systems and improve their tran...
