Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for a rocket engine.
Pivots used in gimbal ring mounts can operate at higher temperatures than other bearings and provide
at a relatively constant opposing spring force. As a result,
the actuator can be sized to accommodate only the force required to position the rocket motor.
Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for an engine control linkage.
Pivots used in throttle linkages can be tailored to meet performance requirements for the particular application.
Examples include custom torsional spring rates, limited angular travel, and special mounting arrangements.
Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for a pressure transducer.
Pivots are used in pressure transducers to save assembly and calibration
time as well as provide for frictionless and stiction-free output motion.

Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for a vibration accelerometer.
The pivot is ideal for this type of application because an accelerometer has to endure
countless numbers of cycles in its lifetime and the pivot provides infinite life without requiring maintenance.
Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for an instrument indicating head.
The two features of a pivot that make it ideal for indicating heads are
its stiffness in all directions except in rotation and its self-centering spring return.
Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for a seismic vibration amplitude sensor.
In this application, pivots are used as a damping system.
A transducer converts the motion of the sensor base to a proportional signal.
Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for a perpendicular mirror.
Four or eight pivots used in a parallelogram arrangement will maintain a mirror or
other optics perpendicular to any surface for applications that require lateral motion.
Shown is a typical mounting arrangement for a universal joint on centerline.
Four pivots used in a universal joint offer the advantage of being on centerline and therefore provide one-plane articulation.
