Sumario:For planar closed-loop structures with clearances, the angular and positional error uncertainties are studied. By using the vector translation method and geometric method, the boundaries of the errors are analyzed. The joint clearance is considered as being distributed uniformly in a circle area. A virtual link projection method is proposed to deal with the clearance affected length error probability density function (PDF) for open-loop links. The error relationship between open loop and closed loop is established. The open-loop length PDF and the closed-loop angular error PDF both approach being Gaussian distribution if there are many clearances. The angular propagation error of multi-loop structures is also investigated by using convolution. The positional errors of single and multiple loops are both discussed as joint distribution functions. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to verify the proposed methods.
