This paper proposes a novel form of a three-dimensional coaxial bowtie-shaped mechanical amplifier. The proposed model incorporates a lever mechanism into the Sarrus linkage structure. It allows the target plate to move along one axis with amplified displacement in a parallel manner. The amplifier was assembled after machining the components using a computer numerical control machine. A flexible h...
