This paper proposes a new family of large-displacement flexural pivots. The design in this family is derived from the conventional notch-type flexures, which are capable of high rotational precision and a compact structure. However, the proposed new flexural pivots can offer a much larger range of motion (up to 60°) compared with those old flexures. In order to construct the profile of these new flexures, a method based on large-deflection axial buckling theory was introduced to determine their initial flexible curvature profiles. In addition, the characteristic comparisons and optimizations of the proposed flexures were made using Finite Element Analysis.Copyright © 2007 by ASME
