(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. Flexures are a design feature used by design engineers (usually mechanical engineers) for providing adjustment or compliance in a design.

File:Pin Flexure.jpg|Pin flexure File:Blade Flexure.jpg|Blade flexure File:Notch Flexure.jpg|Notch flexure Since single flexure features are limited both in travel capability and degrees of freedom available, compound flexure systems are designed using combinations of these component features. Using compound flexures, complex motion profiles with specific degrees of freedom and relatively long travel distances are possible. ==See also== Flexure bearing Compliant mechanism ==References==
