Abstract
A composite flexure unit 10, 10', 120 includes a flexure member (12, 12', 12', 100) comprising a low modulus of elasticity material. The flexure unit (10, 10', 120) includes a first portion (22, 122) for mounting the flexure (12, 12', 12', 100), a second portion (32, 124) for mounting the flexure, and a third portion (40, 121) connecting the first portion (22, 122) to the second portion (32, 124). The flexure (12, 12', 12', 100) is bendable about a rotational axis passing through the third portion (40, 121) of the flexure member. A tension load bearing element (18A, 18B, 18C, 18D, 18E, 18F, 18G, 120) comprising a high modulus of elasticity material provides longitudinal strength and stiffness to the flexure (12, 12', 12', 100) without significantly increasing flexion stiffness about the rotational axis (14) is incorporated with the flexure.
