Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for generating the power and the torque which can be utilized for positioning various kinds of devices. SOLUTION: When a monitor device 2 is moved along a guide member 18, the energy of a spring 14 is increased or decreased by a cam 12. This energy is converted by the cam 12 into a substantially constant supporting force to a moving body 4 via a cam follower 16. The cam surface or the cam shape is appropriate so as to directly correspond to the energy from the spring 14 required for the balance with the monitor device. Thus, when the monitor device is lowered along a moving path, the energy is stored in an energy storing member. This stored energy is used when the monitor device is elevated. By changing the spring compression speed, the supporting force toward the moving direction of the monitor device is converted in a consistent level or a preset level in a spring elevating force characteristic curve.
