structure and mechanical design help for lift assist manipulators

[Horo]

Hi Guys,
I have been looking for some information on the structural design of lift assist manipulators such as type of bearing used or pneumatic actuators.
It would be appreciated if you could introduce some source of information of the mechanical design of manipulators.

Thanks!

  Hello!
I would recommend looking a the Thomas Registry, for all the manufaturers and contractors in the United
States. Some of them are very friendly, and will help in your design and questions!
