Authors

In this paper, a computation method for the output shaft's rotation of a passive rotational joint, especially of one that is deployed on a parallel mechanism, is investigated. As an alternative to typical geometric or screw theory methods, we propose a new approach that is based on the comparison between any passive rotational joint with a reference spherical joint. As examples, we apply our method to a universal joint and a novel double joint whose passive rotation is difficult to calculate with traditional methods.
