A new method permits the complete force balancing of spatial linkages such as the RSSR and RSSP mechanisms. Operator equations are written describing the location of the center of mass for the given mechanism. The coefficients of the time-dependent terms are set to zero by properly locating the mass centers of selected links. As a result, the location of the total center of mass is invariant and there is no resultant shaking force.
