In first approximation, flexure mechanisms can be modelled with rigid links connected to rotational pivots. This diagram shows an example for the correction of unwanted motions in the kinematic structure of mechanisms consisting of rotational joints. Starting with a purely rotational joint (1.) and ending with a linear motion provided by a chain of rotational joints, (4.1) and (4.2). The principles of serial and parallel setup of pivots as well as an external linkage are applied
