ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for linear reciprocating device which allows a relatively large axial stroke while also providing long life and high torsional and radial stiffness. The system consists of a grounded ring to which pairs of substantially coplanar cross straps are connected about an axis of symmetry around the ring. The midpoints of the straps are attached to the reciprocating device. In operation the flexing of the straps in combination with the distortion of the grounded ring allows for a greater axial stroke within a smaller perimeter than using flexing straps alone. This allows the suspension device to be utilized in a much smaller area providing further advantages in application.
