Zusammenfassung:	An interface component is disposed between a movable block and a support member, such as a linear rail. The interface includes a number of independent flexures, each providing an axially projected contact area extending toward the support member that varies in shape and spring force according to contact force with the support member. The flexures may be arranged collectively to provide complementary radial forces on the support member, thus providing force-controlled contact points with the support member that can individually yield to local surface irregularities in the support member, while maintaining a balanced array of radial contact forces with the support member.
