Hello!

We are trying to design a micro-mirror with a deflection angle of 40 to 45
degree. However, if we use torsion hinge, the stress of the hinge at 45
degree exceeds the yield strength of most materials. I wonder whether you
have any suggestion about what materials and what hinge types are best
suitable for this kind of application.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
