The load/deflection behavior of pretensioned cable/pulley transmission mechanisms
… particular transmission option; closed circuit cable/pulley transmissions. Cable drives are well suited to force and position control applications because of their unique combination of zero backlash motion, high stiffness and low friction. We begin the modelling process by determining the …

A leg exoskeleton simulator for design, sensing and control development
… which is a modular tethered system that includes cable-drive mechanisms along with off-board power, actuation, control hardware, and wearable end-effector modules. In order to effectively transmit force to a wearable end-effector module, high-performance cable-drive modules with the Rolling Cable …

The use of series compliance and variable transmission elements in the design of a powered knee prosthesis
… with elastic elements were compared to direct drive actuators, series elastic actuators, and two novel mechanisms known as the continuously-variable series-elastic actuator (CV-SEA) and the clutchable series-elastic actuator (CSEA). The CV-SEA is similar to a traditional series-elastic actuator …

Design and Control of a Cable-Driven Sectorial Rotary Actuator for Open-Loop Force Control
… of other haptic actuators, specifically cable-driven force feedback designs. These tools which include a linear system model can be valuable not only in the development but in the control of cable-driven actuators. Due to the imposed design criteria, the developed 1.045 Nm (1.359 Nm peak) …
