Description
This is a constant force compliant mechanism that has a reservoir on top to demonstrate gravity compensation by a monolithic and flexible structure.
A video the mechanism can be found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6kGVtlMbHg&ab_channel=ReinierKuppens
More details about how such a mechanism works can be found in this scientific research paper: https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4049438
