This paper deals with the issue of kinematic modeling and analysis of a toggle mechanism. Based on the mathematic model of a conventional five-point type toggle mechanism. New five-point type toggle mechanism has been analyzed by computer simulation method. A sensitivity ratio has been defined and analyzed to compare its performance with four-point type toggle mechanism. A cycloidal motion has been applied to the cross head as an input and the motion of the moving platen is considered as an output. The effect of link design parameter as well as the type of toggle has been investigated by computer simulation to be available for industrial applications of injection molding machines.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the geometric nonlinearity of a toggle system and to evaluate the vibration control performance when the toggle system with a viscous damper was applied to a structure. Numerical analysis shows that the relative displacement of the structure can be amplified by amplification mechanism of the toggle system and the capacity of the damper can be reduced without the loss of vibration control performance. It is also observed that the geometric nolinearity of toggle system using the linear viscous damper has little effect on the performance.

This study outlines the analysis of toggle system and the vibration control performance when the toggle-rotational inertia damper system was applied to a structure. Numerical analysis shows that the relative displacement of the structure can be amplified by amplification mechanism of the toggle system and the capacity of the damper can be reduced without the loss of vibration control performance. It is also observed that vibration control effects is caused by the increase of equivalent mass due to the rotational inertia of damper.

To increase the machine accuracy by improving the stiffness of spindle bearings, preload was applied to the spindle bearings. The methods of fixed position preload, convertible preload, constant pressure preload, and variable preload are used to apply the preload to the spindle bearing. The previous studies performed by the author of this study were variable preload methods using rubber pressure and centrifugal force based on mechanical systems. This study proposed a toggle joint mechanism that could be applied to variable preload method using centrifugal force and rubber pressure to increase the preload. Also, a finite element analysis was conducted to predict the deformation of the rubber and change of the preload. And the analysis results showed that the preload by the device using rubber pressure only was increased by the toggle joint mechanism using rubber pressure.

Toggle bolt is mechanical device constructed with toggle spring wing toggle and machine screw, and defined as an expansive bolt consisting of a nut with flanged wings which are pressed to the bolt and, after insertion in a thin or hollow wall, spread open through spring pressure, thus anchoring it to the wall. And spring wing toggle is aligned with two wings, spring and nut manually in domestic manufacturing line. Then it is regarded as major problem for exports increasement to make cost down in the view of total manufacturing process. Accordingly in this study, high speed type automatic alignment mechanism is guided for spring wing bolt, and exclusive alignment dies and some special additional units are designed and manufactured.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the control effect of toggle brace system having amplifying displacement mechanism with that of conventional brace system when the identical MR damper is applied to each system. The force-displacement and lone-velocity relationships of MR damper are obtained using harmonic load test and the analytical model for MR damper is presented. White noise excitation tests of a single degree of freedom system with MR-toggle brace system and MR-chevron system are conducted and the transfer functions of the systems are compared. Test results show that the control effect of the toggle system is superior to that of the conventional brace system.

This paper presents a robust motion tracking control of a cylinder-toggle servomechanism for injection molding machines. Virtual design model has been developed for a five-point type toggle mechanism. A sliding function is defined and combined with PID control to accommodate mismatches between the real plant and the linear model used. From tracking control simulations, it is shown that significant reduction in position tracking error is achieved with clamping force build-up through the use of proposed control scheme.

This study examines the two-level behavior of the toggle brace damper within a steel frame having a yielding pipe damper and rotational friction damper. The proposed system has two kinds of fuse for energy dissipation in two stages. In this mechanism, rotational friction damper rather than hinged connection is used in toggle brace system, connected to a pipe damper with a limited gap. In order to create a gap, bolted connection with the slotted hole is used, such that first a specific movement of the rotational friction damper solely is engaged but with an increase in movement, the yielding damper is also involved. The performance of the system is such that at the beginning of loading the rotational friction damper, as the first fuse, absorbs energy and with increasing the input load and further movement of the frame, yielding damper as the second fuse, along with rotational friction damper would dissipate the input energy. The models created by ABAQUS are subjected to cyclic and seismic loading. Considering the results obtained, the flexibility of the hybrid two-level system is more comparable to the conventional toggle brace damper. Moreover, this system sustains longer lateral displacements. The energy dissipation of these two systems is modeled in multi-story frames in SAP2000 software and their performance is analyzed using time-history analysis. According to the results, permanent relocations of the roof in the two-level system, in comparison with toggle brace damper system in 2, 5, and 8-story building frames, in average, decrease by 15, 55, and 37% respectively. This amount in a 5-story building frame under the earthquakes with one-third scale decreases by 64%.

In this paper, the feasibility of the high-performance damping device vibration suppression of stay cables has been investigated. The proposed damping system consists of a linear viscous damper and a scissor-jack-type toggle linkage. Since the mechanism of the scissor-jack-type toggle linkage amplifies the relative displacement of the linear viscous damper, it is expected that the capacity of the viscous damper used in the scissor-jack-damper energy dissipation system can be reduced without the loss of the control performance. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the damping system employing the scissor-jack-type toggle linkage. Therefore, the proposed damping system could be considered as one of the promising candidates for suppressing vibration of stay cable.

Structural analysis of horizontal cold chamber die casting machine is performed by the FEM. The analyzed model is made up of stationary die platen,movable die platen,link housing platen, C-frame, and tie bar which mainly undertake die locking force and injection force. In modeling, compression gap elements are used for to simulate contacting condition between tie bar and movable die platen, movable die platen and base frame, and link housing and base frame. Unbalanced die locking force imposed on four tie bars are considered. As the results, the deformed shape and the stresses of the die casting machine are given.
