Abstract: A 3-PPSR parallel micromanipulator with 6-DOF driven by piezoelectric actuators is presented to avoid the complex structure and reduce the assembly error of the usual 6-limed ones. It is very compact and helpful to improve the accuracy using the monolithic bottom stage and only three fixed-length rods with flexure hinges at the two ends. To analyze the static stiffness, which is an important index that affects the accuracy of the manipulator, the inverse kinematics and the relation between the end-effectors’ position and pose and the micro deformation of the flexure hinges is derived from series of coordinates transformations firstly. As to the elastic deformation of the flexure hinges, the static stiffness matrix of the manipulator is developed via the principle of virtual work. Based on this model, the influence of the parameters for the stiffness of the manipulator is discussed. Thus the effect of the radii of the hinge circles and the dimensions of the flexure hinges on stiffness are obtained. The results provide tutorial for configur- ing the stiffness and designing the structural parameters of the parallel micromanipulator further.
