...Loïc Tissot-Daguette; Florent Cosandier; Etienne Thalmann; Simon Henein Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations...

...E. Thalmann; S. Henein Thanks to their absence of play, absence of contact friction and possible monolithic fabrication, flexure pivots offer advantages over traditional bearings in small-scale, high accuracy applications and environments where lubrication and wear debris are proscribed. However...
