Abstract
This article starts from the structural analysis of a specific spatial gripping mechanism used in wood harvesting heads. This mechanism adapts the pressure direction to the trunk diameter. Considering particularities such as the symmetry plane of the mechanism and the actuator location, a structural synthesis is performed to find all the joint combinations allowing such an adaptive gripping behavior. Finally, nine innovative equivalent mechanisms are generated and represented in 3D. A critical review of the found solutions is established to identify their respective advantages. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013.
