This article presents a new configuration of a 3-dof machine tool with parallel kinematics. Elastic deformations of the machine tool have been modeled with finite elements, stiffness coefficients at characteristic points of the working area for different cutting forces have been calculated.

The possible variants of an original parallel kinematics machine-tool structure are explored in this article. A new Hooke's universal joint design based on needle roller bearings with the ability of a preload setting is proposed. The bearing stiffness modeling is carried out using a variety of methods. The elastic deformation modeling of a Hook's joint and a spherical rolling joint have been developed to assess the possibility of using these joints in machine tools with parallel kinematics.
