Abstract. In the literature, authors have made contributions in the area of partiallycompliant slider-crank (rocker) mechanisms possessing rigid joints that maycause backlash inherently. On contrary, fully compliant mechanisms offer nobacklash which is a valuable property for the cases where high precision isrequired. In this paper, we proposed a fully compliant slider-crankmechanism that performs large stroke. Kinematic performance of the mechanismis investigated analytically. Dimensions of the mechanism are optimized toobtain maximum translational output, while keeping deflections of flexiblehinges equal to each other and as small as possible. A design tabledisplaying stroke, axis drift of the output segment, and critical stressesof compliant segments are presented. As an example, a compliant mechanism isdesigned by using rigid body replacement technique. Then, via nonlinearfinite element analysis technique, analytical results are verified. Finally,a prototype is built to compare output stroke and axis drift with analyticalapproaches. The results of experiments verified that the theoreticalapproaches are consistent.
