On the one hand when the external world is impacted, the foreign impacts to motor, decelerator can preferably be slowed down.Spring is introduced to cause entirely
Joint has certain compliance, but the coefficient of elasticity of spring is constant in motion process, is most to start to be answered according to specific
It is designed what is calculated with occasion.Joint output torque is that the rigidity of disc type spring 32 is multiplied by the interior of disc type spring
The outer ring anglec of rotation is poor, and the Internal and external cycle anglec of rotation of disc type spring 32 is larger due to spring stiffness by itself value, causes inner ring to change
Small, so cannot accurately be measured by rotating class encoder, we are converted into direct slide displacement transducer 333 and enter here
