ABSTRACT

This paper put the flexible joint that can bend to different directions as the research object, and adopted orthogonal experiment to analyze the influence of various parameters on joint bending angle. The experiment results show that the spring diameter of skeleton had the greatest influence on joint bending angle, the effective length is 90 mm, the diameter of 1 mm, the pitch diameter of 7mm, the pitch of 1 mm, and the flexible joints had best bend performance. The study provides foundation theory and experiment for the application of the flexible joints in the robot drives.
