Research on a Novel Flexure Hinge

Analysis of a novel flexure hinge with three degrees of freedom

Calculation and Analysis of Double-Axis Elliptical-Parabolic Compond Flexure Hinge

A double-axis flexure hinges combined with elliptical and parabolic curve is presented in this paper. The design equations for its compliance computation have been deduced by application of Castigliano’s displacement theorem after the anlysis of the stucture,which were analyzed by the use of the software MATLAB, and comfirm the validity of the model with finite element analysis software ANSYS.

Decoupling Optimization of Flexure Hinge and Lever Magnifying Mechanism for an Xy Compliant Micromanipulator

The micro/nano motion stage with ultra-high precision are urgently required to perform such tasks as operation under scanning probe, bio-cell manipulation, optical fibers alighment, etc. The compliant XY micro manipulator employing flexure hinges is widely applying due to their excellent characteristics of simple structure, no backlash, no nonlinear friction, and so on [1]. Some novel compliant...

Review of circular flexure hinge design equations and derivation of empirical formulations

This article presents the comparison of various compliance/stiffness equations of circular flexure hinges with FEA results. The limitation of hese equations at different t/R (R is the radius and t is the neck thickness) ratios are revealed. Based on the limitations of these design equations, a uideline for selecting the most accurate equations for hinge design calculations are presented. In add...

Modeling and Performance Analysis of Giant Magnetostrictive Microgripper with Flexure Hinge

Abstract. In order to improve the steady output of micrgripper, the giant magnetostrictive micrgripper with flexure hinge is taken as the research object . Its structure and working principle are presented .the static performance experiments are done and the better linear work domain is found. On the basis of that the dynamic model of the microgripper is established and the formula of the micro...
