Summary:Abstract This paper presents a modified design of rhombus-type amplifier used in positioning stage compliant mechanism. The new rhombus design is introduced to enhance the performance of rhombus and the results are promising. The new approach of rhombus amplifier is based on mixing the concept of rhombus type with the idea of hinges (reduced section portions) existed in bridge type. The performance of the proposed design is investigated by the pseudo rigid body model and validated by the finite element analysis. The new rhombus design improves displacement amplification ratio by (22.3%) with slightly change in master mode natural frequency (1.3%). The pseudo rigid body model for new rhombus design is consistent with the ANSYS results, and hence can be used in modelling and analysis of the new rhombus design.
