Static balancing involves ensuring that the motors do not contribute towards supporting the mechanism's weight, for any of the possible configurations. A mechanism can therefore remain stable in any position without the help of motors or brakes. This result can be obtained by using counterweights or springs. 2, record 1, English, - static%20balancing

L'équilibrage statique consiste à s’assurer que les moteurs ne contribuent aucunement à supporter le poids du mécanisme, et ce, pour toutes les configurations. Ainsi, un mécanisme pourra se tenir de façon stable à n’ importe quelle position sans moteurs ni freins. On peut obtenir ce résultat en utilisant des contrepoids et/ou des ressorts. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quilibrage%20statique
