DESIGN OF FLEXURE HINGES

 

 

 

 

  
 

 Flexure hinges hold several advantages
 over classical rotational joints, including:
 
 

   - no friction losses
   - no need for lubrication
   - no hysteresis
   - no clearance
   - no wear.

   - stiffness (bending, torsion)
   - limited movement

 applications:

 micro and nano-scale mechanisms in
 precision engineering.
