PLANAR FLEXURE MEMBERS AND ACTUATORS USING THEM |
摘要 |
A planar flexure member for resisting rotation about a central axis thereof includes, in various embodiments, a central portion comprising a plurality of attachment points; and at least one serpentine flexure arm extending from the central portion in a plane. The arm(s) terminate in an arcuate mounting rail that includes a series of attachment points. The rails are positioned in opposition to to each other to partially define and occupy a planar circular envelope radially displaced from but surrounding the central portion of the flexure member. A portion of the serpentine arms may extend to (or substantially to) the envelope between the mounting rails. |

1. A planar flexure member for resisting rotation about a central axis thereof, the flexure member comprising:
a central portion comprising a plurality of attachment points; and at least two serpentine flexure arms extending oppositely and symmetrically from the central portion in a plane, each of the arms terminating in an arcuate mounting rail, the mounting rails each comprising a plurality of attachment points and being positioned in opposition to to each other to partially define and occupy a planar circular envelope radially displaced from but surrounding the central portion, a portion of the serpentine arms extending substantially to the envelope between the mounting rails. |
