A flexure pivot, utilized in place of bearings for its frictionless adjustment properties.A living hinge (a type of flexure), on the lid of a Tic Tac box. This hinge has one compliant degree of freedom.
A flexure is a flexible element (or combination of elements) engineered to be compliant in specific degrees of freedom.[1] Flexures are a design feature used by design engineers (usually mechanical engineers) for providing adjustment or compliance in a design.
