Abstract

An arrangement for use with a micro-mechanical beam, in which a plurality of support structures are configured to directly attach to the micro-mechanical beam to increase bending stiffness of the micro-mechanical beam without significantly influencing torsional stiffness. At least two of the support structures are arranged to touch each upon reaching a predetermined bending action of the micro-mechanical beam and prevent a further bending action of the micro-mechanical beam, and at least two of the support structures are non-identical.
