Hi All,
I am working on this linkage mechanism. Please see the attachment for images. There are 3 pivot points. Two of which are connected to the ground. The" Inside Leg 1" is telescopic to "Leg 2" and has a 120 LB compression gas spring connected at mount points as shown in the image. The leg 3 is geometrically placed to have the correct opening angle(of Leg 2 which is 40 Degrees). At the open position as shown in the image the gas spring is fully extended and the system stands stable. I was looking to do a force analysis of this linkage system and study the amount of force needed to pull the leg 2 down( i.e closed position for the mechanism). Please see the attached the document for details.
Thank you.
