  • Suspension spring
    Patent number: 11764607
    Abstract: An ortho-planar spring/flexure, a suspension assembly having such a flexure, and a vibration energy harvester including such a suspension assembly, suitable for long term usage in harsh vibrational environments. The flexure provides one or more slots to thereby create parallel springs with a smaller width that will have much lower stress levels when subjected to longitudinal vibrations or shock waves creating large shear forces, and still have a one piece flexure for easy mounting.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 31, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: Aktiebolaget SKF
    Inventors: Maarten Lustig, Sjoerd Van Bracht, Wouter Van Zoest, Wout Ypma
  • Suspension assembly
    Patent number: 11736041
    Abstract: A suspension assembly provides a suspension frame and a supporting frame, the suspension frame being movably coupled to the supporting frame. The suspension assembly further provides at least one flexure that links the suspension frame to the supporting frame. The suspension assembly including at least one stopper to limit movement of the supporting frame and the suspension frame with respect to each other.
