Abstract
A multi-axis payload isolation device for isolating a payload from outside motions. The multi-axis payload isolation device includes a payload mount base, a housing, and a flexure. The payload mount base is configured to support a payload. The housing includes an interior cavity for receiving and supporting the payload mount base. The flexure includes a plurality of radial supports and a common hub. The plurality of radial supports attach the payload mount base to the housing and are made of a superelastic shape-memory alloy. The common hub is configured to connect each of the plurality of radial supports to the payload mount base.
