Convert moment force at lever support

[QUOTE="Niki, post: 6798304, member: 560013"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] Is it possible to balance or convert the rotational force felt by a clamp holding a lever? I am trying to determine if a clamp holding a lever with a mass at one end can experience zero or reduced torque either by balancing the forces or converting the rotational torque into another form such as linear, I’ve looked at counterbalance with Steadicams etc. but I believe this just counteracts the weight on the end of the lever and doesn’t reduce the torque at the clamp [ATTACH type="full"]313842[/ATTACH] Obviously the mass added to the end of the lever will create a cw moment on the clamp and one way to counter the force would be to add another mass onto the other side of the clamp, however is it possible to achieve a counterbalance without adding another mass, while balancing out the moment forces Would it be possible to convert the CW moment force to a linear spring tension by adding a mechanism at the clamp could this convert the torque seen at the clamp into spring tension? [ATTACH type="full"]313843[/ATTACH]Lever would be pivoted at centre of clamp and would then rest on mechanism at front Any help much appreciated, Thanks [/QUOTE]
