but also the spring mechanism that stores the mechanical energy and the trigger mechanism. This is referred to as a compliant mechanism (CM), and [Mark] collaborated with Brigham Young University ...

Compliant mechanisms are innovative devices that achieve motion through the elastic deformation of their components rather than relying on traditional joints and bearings. This design approach ...

But rather than abandon the torque-amplifying transmission completely, he decided to see about improving them using 3D-printed compliant mechanisms ... through a flat spring, one that allows ...

Compliant constant-force mechanisms are innovative engineering solutions designed to maintain a consistent force or torque during operations, particularly in precision tasks. These mechanisms are ...
