This article shows a method for the derivation of a contact point for a passive suction cup with plate spring. First, the buckling shape of a plate spring is analyzed by the variational principle in statics. Next, the force balance of plate spring is calculated. Finally, the works of each contact point are compare. The reliability of the calculated results is then discussed through a comparison with the results obtained using simulations with the RecurDyn software package.
