Riverhawk produces the Free-Flex® Flexural Pivot, an encapsulated flexure bearing designed for high cycle oscillatory motion. We produce the original design that was patented back in the early 1960’s and has been used in thousands of applications since then.  Among our most notable applications are high precision space mechanisms of all sorts.  From scanning mirrors […]

Free-Flex® Pivots have been used for many years within the semiconductor industry to facilitate production of wafers and integrated circuits created by lithography. As technology advances and new manufacturing methods become available, equipment must also be adapted for increased speed and accuracy. There are many steps throughout wafer production from creation, processing, masking and inspection.
