compliant flexure-based micro-parallel positioning stage for a micro active vibration isolation application, established the compliance of the mechanism by the compliance matrix method, and the compliance model was verified by FEA-simulation. [PERSON] et al. [15] proposed a six-DOF parallel positioning system with high resolution, high repeatability, and low parasitic motions, established the compliance model of the mechanism based on the matrix method, and conducted experimental research on the working performance of the mechanism. On the other hand, although the compliant mechanism has the advantages of integral manufacturing, no friction, higher motion accuracy, and is lightweight compared to the rigid mechanism, the kinetostatic of the compliant mechanism (the relationship between input forces and output displacements) cannot be analyzed by kinematics or statics alone as rigid mechanisms are due to the intrinsic coupling between the kinematic and the elastic behavior of the flexure hinge [16], which brings challenges to the kinetostatic modeling of compliant parallel mechanisms with various complex configurations. In the past few decades, relevant scholars have proposed a variety of modeling methods that can be used for the kinetostatic of compliant mechanisms, such as the pseudo rigid body model method, Castigliano's theorem, elastic beam theory, the compliance matrix method, etc., [17]. [PERSON] et al. [18] proposed a pseudo-rigid body model with three revolute joints applicable to curved and straight beams, which can define compliant members as models with three revolute joints, making kinematics constraints and statics equations easy to implement. [PERSON] et al. [19] combined [PERSON]'s theorem, the Crotti-Engesser theorem, the beam constraint model, strain energy, and complementary strain energy, and established an energy-based kinetostatic modeling framework for compliant mechanisms. [PERSON] et al. [20] designed and analyzed a compliant nanopositioner with dynamically tunable characteristics, and established a kinetostatic model of the nanopositioner by utilizing elastic beam theory and electromagnetic field coupling analysis to predict the variable stiffness property and dynamically tunable characteristics. [PERSON] et al. [21] established the kinetostatic model of the compliant two-stage differential micro-displacement amplification mechanism by matrix representation and optimized the position and geometric parameters of the flexure hinge. [PERSON] et al. [22] proposed a kinetostatic modeling method of compliant mechanisms based on a semi-analytical matrix displacement method, which can be used for complex, compliant mechanisms with serial-parallel substructures. Recently, the authors [23] presented a general approach, which is applicable to describe the kinetostatic and dynamic behaviors of spatial compliant mechanisms. [PERSON] et al. [24] proposed a systematic method for kinetostatic analysis of arbitrary compliant parallel mechanisms based on the compliance matrix method. In this paper, a novel class of \(n\)-4R compliant parallel pointing mechanisms is proposed, and the compliance and kinetostatic of the mechanism are successively modeled and analyzed. Firstly, the compliance of a single branch of the mechanism is derived by using the compliance of right-circular flexure hinges according to coordinate transformation method. Then, the compliance model of the overall mechanism was established according to the flexure module modeling method of the parallel structure. The accuracy of the compliance model was validated by finite element analysis, and the influence of parameter changes on the compliance of the mechanism was further analyzed. Secondly, the mechanism is simplified to an equivalent spring system, and the governing equation of the spring system is established according to Hooke's law.
