Test mass alignment using overlapped-flexure hinge in NIM-2 joule balance

, 2020
To solve the test mass misalignment problem in NIM-2 joule balance, a new suspension system with an overlapped-flexure hinge is proposed. The overlapped structure of this flexure hinge can guarantee the forces to act on the same pivot point, so the first

A compact 2-DOF piezo-driven positioning stage designed by using the parasitic motion of flexure hinge mechanism

Smart materials and structures (Print), 2019
This paper presents a compact two-degrees of freedom piezo-driven positioning stage. To achieve large working stroke, the stick-slip principle was employed, and to make the stage compact, a lever-type flexure hinge mechanism (LFHM) with the L-shape ...

Lumped-Parameter Inertia Model for Flexure Hinges

Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines, 2004
Abstract The article describes the analysis to derive the lumped-parameter inertia properties for variable cross-section flexure hinges for potential use in modeling, designing, and optimizing of these components in the resonant/dynamic range. Inertia fractions corresponding to one of the flexure's 6 degrees of freedom are formulated for single-, two-,

Space focusing mirror assembly with flexure hinges

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
Focusing mirror assembly (FMA) is an important component of large space telescope. It can compensate the telescope's defocus caused by environmental factors. Telescope launching vibration and shock, as well as the structure stress of kinematic movement have great impact on focusing mirror assembly. To solve the problems of defocus result from vibration,

Design and analysis of Multicavity Flexure Hinge (MCFH) based on three-dimensional continuum topology optimization

Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2019
This paper proposes a novel single-axis Multicavity Flexure Hinge (MCFH) consisting of the symmetric cycloidal notches and the multiple cavities. This flexure hinge is firstly designed based on the three-dimensional continuum topology optimization (3 ...

Notch flexure hinges: An effective theory

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2002
This article presents effective tractable equations for rotational compliance (stiffness) of a simple monolithic flexure hinge with circular (radius R and crosspiece thickness t), elliptical [at semiaxis ax, ay, elliptical ratio ε (=ax/ay)] and other cross sections.

A piezoelectric stick-slip linear actuator with a rhombus-type flexure hinge mechanism by means of parasitic motion.

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2019
In order to obtain the high velocity in compact size, a piezoelectric stick-slip linear actuator is proposed in this paper. The proposed actuator adopts rhombus-type flexure hinge mechanism which can be used as a displacement amplifier which can easily ...

Piezomotors using flexure hinged displacement amplifiers

IEE Colloquium on `Innovative Actuators for Mechatronic Systems', 1995
The design and construction of two different piezomotors developed by the authors is briefly described. Both employ flexure hinged mechanical displacement amplifiers to increase the output movement of stack-type piezoelectric actuators to enable them to be applied to rotation generating mechanisms. The first example is a harmonic piezomotor.
