Abstract
A mounting assembly for an optical scanner includes a base unit with a hole for receiving a post of a rotor unit that includes a laser light source that emits light towards a bar code symbol or other object that reflects the light to a collector also mounted on the rotor unit. Flexures connect the base unit to the rotor so that the post and hole arrangement limits translational movement of the rotor unit due to a shock force applied to the optical scanner. The flexures may be use to transmit power signals to the rotor unit and to provide monitoring signals from the rotor unit.
