Abstract

Sarrus mechanism and its modified configurations are widely used in space missions as one-dimensional deployable mechanisms. The degree of freedom (DOF) of the classic Sarrus mechanism is analyzed using the modified Kutzbach-Grübler criterion, which is based on screw theory. Inspired by the modified configurations, which has three branches used in high stiffness extendible and retractable mast and four branches used in fold articulated square truss mast, the general form of Sarrus mechanism is obtained. Two novel Sarrus mechanisms are synthesized based on the general form, which expands the configurations of one-dimensional deployable mechanism.
