ABSTRACT:
Low friction pivot 10 has base 12 and pivot pin 16. Bands 22, 24, and 26 are secured to the base 12 on one end and half-wrapped around the cylindrical pivot pin 16 on the other end. The slot 18 in pin 16 is for receiving and clamping that end of the bands. The torque caused by the bent bands is equal so that in any rotative position there is no net torque applied to pin 16.
