4 Bar Linkage End Effector, Robot Gripper Animation

This is a End effector that uses a small standard size RC motor with a worm gear to to open and close the gripper. It uses a 4 bar linkage mechanism in it's design which i will be using for an upcoming robotics project. Due to requests the Solidworks 2009 files of the gripper are posted on my website www.installerworld.com

I love this. I have to design a four-bar linkage for my dynamics course and i'm looking to do something creative like this. Did you design this model yourself? Or did you use ideas from somewhere else?

[1TwistedmindZ1]

@SkaterK3 I actually designed this myself but the concept of a 4 bar linkage for a gripper is not new. I just made the worm gear input application of it, most others that i have seen use a servo motor with a crank arm style design. One word of caution in building something like this is that you have need feedback on current draw (or limit switches) to know when it reaches the end of it's travel, this keeps the worm gear from messing up the motor brushes/commutator.

I need link and gear dimensions.. its urgent.. please mail the sketches to my mail id: arun.csk02@gmail.com

@ercost60 that depends on what your intended application is a trapezoidal configuration will give you a little bit different of a reach pattern, but if you aim to keep the plates parallel then you are correct you would need a parallel linkage setup. The pads are free to swivel though so it would allow for grabbing at various angles.

[ercost60]

A bit deceptive: there's nothing keeping the fingertips parallel as your animation shows. You need a parallelogram linkage instead of the trapezoidal one shown.

can u give the drawing desing please...??

i need it..

urgent..
