The  Frictionless Riverhawk Free-Flex® Pivot offers many advantages: infinite life, low center shift, and no friction. Yes, you read that right: no friction. Now, you may be saying to yourself “Well, that’s impossible. There is always some friction in a moving part”. Is the Free-Flex® Pivot truly as frictionless as we say? What is friction? […]

Precision Movement and Repeatability: Original Innovation Like most of the world’s engineering marvels, the Free-Flex Pivots design started as a question. What can we use to produce a gimbal ring with precise, repeatable motion in multiple axes at small degrees of rotation? In early 1960, Henry Troeger answered that question. Through the use of an
