Abstract
A flexure includes a base and a pair of beams coupled to the base at fixed-ends. The pair of beams are joined by a cross-beam at free-ends of the beams. A tongue extends from the cross-beam between the pair of beams towards the base. The flexure also includes a bend in each of the beams, which displaces the free ends out-of-plane relative to the fixed ends.
