Design and Testing of a Novel Nested, Compliant, Constant-Force Mechanism with Millimeter-Scale Strokes

This paper presents a novel nested, compliant, constant-force mechanism (CFM) that generates millimeter-scale manipulation stroke. The nested structure is utilized to improve the overall compactness of the CFM. A combination strategy of positive and negative stiffness is induced to generate constant...
