Hi all,
I want to design a XY Flexure Adjustment Plate, that has two knobs on ONE side.
Thorlabs has design that both knobs are prependicualr but due to space constraints I cannot leverage that design.
Thanks for any suggestion or help.
The simplest thing would be a bell crank to transfer the motion of one of the actuators by 90 degrees. The range of motion you need may be too much for a flexure on tbe crank pivot.
Alternatively use a motor on each axis, then the controll can be anywhere.
Also depends on if you really need to keep the backlash low and keep everything 100% flexure. If not you could attach a bevel gear to the knob and then run the shaft parallel to the top. As demonstrated by my terrible drawing
The are many other ways to take a rotating shaft through a 90% bend as well.
Thanks, that is a good ide abut the space is super limited
Thnaks that is a good idea, but I want to keep it zero backlash and all flexture.
The space is also very limited
If you have space in z- you may be able to put the bell crank above and below one corner of the flexure mechanism rather than making it bigger in x/y
