Elliptical Rolling Link Toggle Mechanisms for Passive Force Closures with Self-Adjustment

Elliptical Rolling Link Toggle Mechanisms for Passive Force Closures with Self-Adjustment

This thesis presents elliptical rolling contact joints as an alternative to circular rolling contact and conventional revolute joints where high quality force transmission "low friction and backlash" with variable output are desired. Parameters specific to the joint and its position are de...
