Perfect spring equilibrator designs are identified which eliminate the effects of gravity on spatial rotations of a rigid body. The rigid body is connected to ground via a Hooke’s joint and all possible one and two zero-free-length spring equilibrator designs are identified. A general design procedure for n-spring equilibrators is also discussed.
