Shaking force and shaking moment balancing of six-and eight-bar planar mechanisms

Abstract

This chapter presents the dynamic balancing technique for shaking force and shaking moment balancing of six-and eight-bar planar mechanisms. Shaking force is balance by the method of redistribution of mass and shaking moment by geared inertia elements. The planetary gears used to balance shaking moment of links not directly connected to the frame in earlier methods are mounted on the base of the mechanism which is constructively more efficient. The proposed method is illustrated by numerical examples and it is observed that better results are obtained than those of the previous method.
