Patented Flexural Pivot
A unique bearing concept for applications with limited angular travel.
The Lucas Free-Flex® flexural pivot is a frictionless, stiction-free bearing uniquely suited for limited angular travel applications of up to 60° (± 30°) rotation. For many applications permitting no lubrication, demanding precise positioning and requiring infinite cycle life, it is the ONLY solution.
The Free-Flex® pivot is a simply packaged, compact, easily installed limited rotation bearing with predictable and repeatable performance. The pivot is made of flat, crossed springs supporting rotating sleeves.
A variety of pivot sizes and ratings are available off the shelf, in both cantilevered (Series 5000) and double-ended (Series 6000) designs. Configurations involving larger sizes, different materials, special installation features, etc. can be provided to your specifications.
