Abstract

This paper introduces the design and control of the suspended gravity compensation system’s upright controllable force subsystem. The upright subsystem consists of the transmission compensation module, the buffer module, and the control part. The transmission compensation module includes the transmission components. The buffer module includes the compression spring and its fittings. The control part contains servo motor, tension sensor, and relative displacement sensor. The subsystem can follow the object upright motion actively and provide constant force to compensate the gravity of the object.
