The self centering grasping mechanisms aim to improve the positioning accuracy of the object movement. The paper presents the FEM method applied to such mechanism using compliant joints with elastic properties. We have studied the tensions and displacements for the three dimensional model and the experimental results achieved the goal of our work.
