RECTILINEAR POSITIONING MECHANISM ADAPTED TO ACCURATELY LOCATE A BEAM MEMBER THROUGH A RANGE OF POSITIONS

摘要

A rectilinear positioning mechanism for precisely controlling the rectilinear position of an output member. The rectilinear positioning mechanism of this invention includes a relatively thin beam which is flexible particularly along its longitudinal length. The flexible beam is fixed against movement at one end while the other end is free to move in the longitudinal direction.
