Abstract

Microelectromechanical and/or nanoelectromechanical device comprising a support and at least one moveable element so as to be able to be displaced translationally with respect to the support, a means (G1) for translationally guiding said element, said guiding means (G1) comprising two rigid arms (6), a rotating articulation (12, 10) between each arm (6, 8) and the moveable element (4) and a rotating articulation (10, 14) between each arm (6, 8) and the support, the guiding means (G1) also comprising a coupling articulation (18) between the two arms having at least rotating articulation, said rotating articulations having axes of rotation at least parallel with each other such that during a translational displacement of the moveable element (4) the arms (6, 8) pivot with respect to each other in opposite directions, the rotating articulations being made by torsionally deformable beams.
