Abstract
A counterbalancing linkage mechanism includes a base link including a first joint; a second link forming a second joint to be rotatably connected to the base link; and a counter balancer having one portion disposed at the second joint and another portion movably disposed at the base link along a length direction of the second link. The counter balancer compensates a gravitational torque generated due to a weight of the second link when the second link rotates on the second joint. A third link is connected to the second link. The counter balancer comprises a counter balancer delivery portion connected to the second link and rotating by the rotation of the second link. A counter balancer driving portion is in contact with the counter balancer delivery portion, linearly moves by the rotation of the counter balancer delivery portion, and compensates the gravitational torque and a load capacity due to interaction with the counter balancer delivery portion.
