EngD position: Flexure-joint Integrated Robust Elastic tripping mechanism
Job description High-performance switching equipment requires mechanisms that operate quickly and reliably when needed. This project focuses on a safety-critical mechanism in which a compact actuator triggers a series of cascaded levers. The system must withstand loads in the kilonewton range and operate in a timespan of a few milliseconds. The challenge offers a rich combination of precision engineering, dynamics and robust mechanical design. Because such equipment may remain inactive for years, it must also operate reliably after long periods of standstill. The project explores whether…
