The information provided above is for reference only and assumes the mechanical designer/user is familiar with Flexural Pivot design and operation. For this reason, the mechanical designer must assume responsibility for the proper application of Riverhawk Flexural Pivots. If any questions arise while designing Riverhawk Flexural Pivots into an application please contact our engineering staff for assistance.
Over the years Flexural Pivots have been used in many different applications. Below you will find some technical papers which describe their use in various instruments. These papers were acquired by researching the internet or have been supplied by customers. They are published here solely for stimulating the designer in the application of Flexural Pivots. No representation or warrant is made that the specific devices depicted in the articles may be manufactured, used or sold without infringing on patents of others.
