Abstract

Through pivot (1) has a stator (2) and a rotor (3). The rotor is capable of turning relative to the stator about an axis of rotation (A) and is capable of accepting a through shaft aligned with the axis of rotation. The rotor is connected to the stator by a plurality of webs (4) capable of being deformed to allow the rotor to rotate, and in that in a condition of rest the webs form an angle of inclination relative to a radial direction passing through the axis of rotation.
