A blade flexure assembly that includes first and second mounting structures. Two or more flexure blades are connected to and extend between the first and second mounting structures. Clamping blocks clamp the flexure blades to the mounting structures. The modular design of the assembly provides for replacing one or more of the flexure blades to adjust one or more functional aspects of the assembly.

Blade flexure assembly with replaceable elements

A system is provided that includes a gimbal yoke, a gimbal swing arm, an elevation tilt platform, and a sensor. The gimbal yoke is configured to rotate about an azimuth rotation axis. The gimbal swing arm is rotationally coupled to the gimbal yoke, and is configured to rotate about an elevation rotation axis. The elevation rotation axis is oriented perpendicular to the azimuth rotation axis. The elevation tilt platform is rotationally coupled to the gimbal swing arm, and is configured to rotate about a tilt rotation axis. The tilt rotation axis is oriented parallel to the elevation rotation axis. The sensor is disposed on the elevation tilt platform. The sensor defines a line of sight.

An example apparatus includes a cable track that includes a first side and a second side that is opposite the first side. The apparatus further includes two or more spacers. The two or more spacers include respective first ends that are attached to the first side of the cable track and respective second ends that are opposite the respective first ends. The two or more spacers further include respective first surfaces between the respective first ends and the respective second ends and respective second surfaces that are opposite the respective first surfaces. The apparatus further includes two or more pins attached proximately to the respective second ends of the two or more spacers. The two or more pins protrude from the respective first surfaces of the two or more spacers and/or protrude from the respective second surfaces of the two or more spacers.

Cross beam flexure pivot assembly includes a first housing member having a first arcuate member a second housing member having a second arcuate member wherein the first arcuate member extends into the second housing member and the second arcuate member extends into the first housing member. First, second and, third beams extend in first direction and fourth and fifth beams extend in a second direction all secured to first and second arcuate members. A first axis, second axis and radial axis of the first and second housing members form a common point of intersection. Total of cross section areas of beams extending in first direction and of beams extending in second direction are equal providing equal linear stiffness in both directions. Total moment stiffness about first axis equals total moment stiffness about the second axis.
