Abstract
In order to generate relative motion between links with the spatial rolling contact pair (SRCP) by adding simple actuation device, the cable driven active SRCP (ASRCP) is proposed. In the ASRCP, two links connected with the SRCP are driven by active cables (e.g. artificial muscles) arranged between the links. The active cables are optimally arranged based on a transmission index for general parallel cable driven mechanisms. Cable tensions to drive two links are calculated by taking care of the stability of the rolling contact of the SRCP. An example is designed and the cable tensions are calculated. The result shows that it has good transmission of driving force and can generate the ideal rolling motion with the calculated cable tensions.
