Abstract :
In development of industrial robot and field mobile robot, the handling robot of relatively heavy payload uses the weight balancing mechanism to reduce power burden of driving motor. To select a gas spring as the weight balancer, the relationship equations of stroke and reaction force are derived and the real selection examples are given. And also the characteristic experimental results are given.
