Remote Centre of Motion Compliant Mechanisms as supports for ECRH mirrors
General Introduction on nuclear fusion (reading is strongly advised!) The goal of this activity is to improve the current design of the DTT ECRH mirror flexible supports (see Figure 3). These components are flexible monolithic structures, which allow large rotations of the mirror about its horizontal axis, while being very stiff with respect to all

Development of a statically balanced Remote Centre of Motion flexure pivot
General Introduction on nuclear fusion (reading is strongly advised!) Flexure pivots are monolithic devices that can undergo large rotations about one axis, while being very stiff with respect to all other degrees of freedom. Remote Centre of Motion flexure pivots, like the one shown in Figure 3, allow rotations about a virtual axis that is
