Abstract:
A micro-electromechanical apparatus includes a rotary element, at least one restraint and at least two folded springs. The rotary element is capable of rotating with respect to an axis. The folded springs are symmetrically disposed about the axis. Each folded spring has a moving end and a fixed end, the moving end is connected to the rotary element, and the fixed end is connected to the at least one restraint. The moving end is not located on the axis, and the fixed end is not located on the axis. A moving distance is defined as a distance between the moving end and the axis, a fixed distance is defined as a distance between the fixed end and the axis. A spring length is defined as a distance between the moving end and the fixed end. The spring length is varied according to the rotation of the rotary element.
