Pivot, process for manufacturing such a pivot, oscillator comprising such a pivot, watch movement and timepiece comprising such an oscillator

Simon Nessim Henein, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette

The present invention concerns a pivot comprising two assemblies, namely a central assembly (401) and a peripheral assembly (400). These two assemblies are mobile in rotation relative to each other around an axis of rotation (A). The pivot is characterized ...

Exploring the impact and challenges of an embodied and improvisation-based couse: insights from engineering students

Simon Nessim Henein

This study employs thematic analysis to delve into the experiences of 12 alumni engineering students who participated in the elective course "Collective Creation: Improvised Arts and Engineering" at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EP ...

Fully compliant snap-through bistable gripper mechanism based on a pinned-pinned buckled beam

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette

This paper presents a new planar flexure-based bistable two-jaw parallel gripper mechanism. The bistability of the mechanism is enabled by a pinned-pinned buckled beam suspended onto two cross-spring pivots. External energy is required only during the swit ...

High-precision flexure-based XY-stage with high stiffness and load capacity

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Patrick Robert Flückiger

Typical flexure-based XY-stages have a serial design, and their layout results in the flexures being loaded in flection in face of heavy payloads or vertical loads. This paper presents a design with zero parasitic shift in which all flexures are loaded in ...

Mechanism balancing taxonomy

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans

The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the elimination of the shaking forces and moments exported onto their supporting structure or ...

Zero Parasitic Shift Pivoting Kinematic Structures Based On Coupled N-RRR Planar Parallel Mechanisms For Flexure Pivot Design

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations usually induce a loss in radi ...

Damping of flexure blades based on bi-material additive manufacturing

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Elias Sebastian Klauser, Florent Alexandre Boudoire, Nikola Kalentics, Nicolas Blondiaux, Lisa Salamin

Flexure-based mechanisms have become state-of-the-art solutions for the design of high-precision mechanisms, free from friction wear, backlash, and lubrication. These properties which are necessary for applications in ultraclean or harsh environments, neve ...

Mechanism Balancing Taxonomy for the Classification of Horological Oscillators

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans

The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the insensitivity of the mechanism to gravity and to the motions of its chassis, or the elimin ...

Gravity-Compensation Design Approaches for Flexure-Pivot Time Bases

Simon Nessim Henein, Quentin Gubler, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

While flexure time bases have gained significant traction in the watchmaking industry thanks to their high quality factor and monolithic design, maintaining a stable frequency in varying orientations of wrist watches with respect to gravity remains a signi ...
