Abstract
This paper proposes a methodology to design a cam-spring mechanism to compe nsate exactly the load variations in a mechanical transmission due to a per iodic torque. The cam-spring system, termed torque-compensating mechanism, is designed such that resonance due to the reciprocating motion is avoided. The design methodology is then applied to the synthesis and design of a qu ick-return mechanism. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
