ABSTRACT:
An improved tangential linear flexure bearing for reciprocating machines is disclosed having improved reliability for long life, the flexure bearing being an integrated device comprising a translating cut diaphragm with circumferential tangent cantilever flexure blades secured between rim and hub spacers, the improvement being within the flexure blades having symmetrical opposing end angles and ends equally displaced from radial lines extending from the center of the diaphragm, and having grain orientation extending along the length of the flexure blades both features providing improved radial stiffness, low axial stiffness, reduced flexure stresses and increased fatigue strength for improve reliability.
