Abstract

This paper discusses mechanisms that allow for perfect static balancing of rotations about a fixed spherical joint by means of ideal springs. Using a potential energy consideration, balancing conditions of a spatial three-spring balancer will be derived. It will be shown that not satisfying these conditions causes nonconstant terms in the potential energy expression of the springmechanism, which can be eliminated by coupling the springmechanism to an inverted pendulum.
