Compensating device for compensation of a torque that depends on the angle of rotation, and medical stand with such a compensating device

摘要

In a device for compensating a torque that depends on rotation angle and results from the rotational motion of a mass around a rotation axis, the rotational motion is converted into a linear displacement of a movably mounted displacement unit along a displacement axis in a defined manner depending on the rotation angle. The torque acting at any given time is compensated by an elastic compensating element that exerts a force opposite to the linear displacement of the displacement unit. Such a device is particularly suitable for compensation of torques that depend on rotation angle in medical stands.
