Abstract

According to one embodiment, a parallel link mechanism includes a base portion, a movable portion, a braking unit, motors, links, and a switching unit. The movable portion is separated from the base portion in a first direction. The braking unit is provided between the base portion and the movable portion, and includes braking pads. The motors are provided around the braking unit, and each include a drive shaft extending along a direction intersecting the first direction. The links are each coupled between the drive shafts and the movable portion. The switching unit is provided between the base portion and the movable portion. The switching unit is configured to switch, by moving the braking pads, between a contact state in which the braking pads are in contact with the drive shafts and a non-contact state in which the braking pads are separated from the drive shafts.
