Abstract
In this chapter and the following two chapters, the type synthesis of 5-DOF PMs is addressed. Each of the three chapters will focus on a di.erent motion pattern. The use of motion patterns provides a systematic classification of 5-DOF PMs and alleviates the confusion that is often generated in the literature when 5-DOF PMs are described. In this chapter, the type synthesis of 5-DOF US= PMs is dealt with using the general approach proposed in Chap. 5. US= PMs are the parallel counterparts of the 5-DOF US serial manipulators, which are composed of one U and one S joint. The four steps of the type synthesis of US= PMs are presented in detail.
