Complete Shaking Moment Balancing of N-Bar Planar Mechanisms

The shaking moment balancing is gained based on the angular momentum principle. This technique can be used for balancing of n-bar planar linkages which have a revolute input kinetic pair. The method transforms the balance problem into a profile curve synthesis of a planar cam. Therefore, it is simple and convenient to use. As a numerical example, the method is used to entirely balance shaking moment of a six-bar mechanism. Copyright © 2014 IFSA Publishing, S. L
