Short summary
A systematic methodology for the type synthesis of a compliant parallel mechanism (CPM) with a suitable constrained branch is introduced. The whole type synthesis principle is built upon the rigid-body-replacement method and the freedom and constraint topology approaches. A series of 2R1T motion CPMs with a suitable constraint branch are proposed. These synthesized compliant mechanisms have potential applications to posture adjustments for the space optical load in the aerospace field.
