Development of a spring-suspended suction cup based on snap-through buckling

This paper focuses on the development of a spring-suspended suction cup with buckled plate spring. The proposed idea is that the buckled plate spring is used for adjusting negative pressure of suction cup. Moreover, the stored elastic energy in the plate-spring compensates pressure loss when air inf...
