Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a cross-pivot flexure system. In one embodiment the system may incorporate a center post element having a first head at a first end thereof, and a second head at a second end thereof. The first head may be arranged along a first longitudinal axis and the second head may be arranged along a second longitudinal axis. The first head may be attached to an immovable ground element through at least one first cross-pivot element for enabling rotational movement about the first longitudinal axis, while the second head may be attached to a motion stage flexure via at least one second cross-pivot element. This construction permits rotational movement of the second head about the second rotational axis. The first and second longitudinal axes are further arranged so that they intersect one another.
