Short summary
In this paper, a new parameter, the compliance ratio λ, which could reflect the sensitivity of the main form of the flexible hinge's output displacement, is proposed and discussed in detail. The optimization of the compliant actuator is carried out analyzing the compliance features of different types of flexible hinges. Finally, an actual precision linear position platform will be taken as an example, to prove the key performance of the compliant actuator is much better.
