Custom Flexure Engineering
Riverhawk engineers custom flexures in virtually any configuration — for non-standard stiffness, range, materials, or environmental requirements.
Product Overview
When standard catalog pivot sizes and configurations don't meet your application requirements, Riverhawk's engineering team designs fully custom Free-Flex® flexures to your specifications. Custom pivots are available in configurations beyond cantilevered and double-ended — including linear flexures, compound pivot arrangements, and integrated structural assemblies.
Custom designs are available in a wide range of materials including steel, titanium, beryllium copper, and stainless steel. Material selection is driven by the stiffness requirement, angular range, operating environment, and fatigue life requirements.
Riverhawk engineers work directly with customers through the design process — providing stiffness calculations, range of motion analysis, fatigue life predictions, and dimensional drawings before manufacturing begins.
