Disclosed are techniques and apparatus for flexibly mounting a mechanism. The embodiments describe a flexible mount that is at once tolerant of misalignment, shock resistant, insensitive to rotational orientation, compact, and failure resistant. A mechanism is rigidly attached to a retainer that interlocks with a stationary housing and confines and compresses annular resilient members. The methods may in particular apply to the mounting of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders for actuation of a shutter assembly in an optical system. In addition the techniques can apply to the flexible mounting of other mechanisms incorporating movable members having axes of symmetry, including push rods and rotating shafts.
