  • Magnetic torsion spring for a magnetically actuated mechanism and method for forming the spring
    Patent number: 12709000
    Abstract: A magnetic torsion spring for a magnetically actuated mechanism, the spring having first and second links of the mechanism rotatably connected at a joint of the mechanism, the first link provided with a first magnet spaced from the joint and the second link provided with a second magnet spaced from the joint generating a spring effect, the spring defined by a torque curve with respect to spring deflection, the torque curve defined by spring type, dimensionless characteristic length ratio of the spring, and an amplitude constant, and the length ratio has a value between 0 and 1.
