Has anyone made a tangent arm nut that is functionally similar, but uses 
compliant hinges instead of sliding components?  I would be interested in 
any info on such a compliant hinge design...photos, etc.

Compliant hinges, when implemented properly, have practically zero 
backlash, and can have high stiffness in the 'non pivoting' directions.

Thanks in advance,
