An oscillating torsional hinged device comprising: a pair of torsional hinges,, each hinge of said pair of torsional hinges extending along a pivot axis from a first end to a second end; an oscillating member located between said torsional hinges and connected to said first end of each of said torsional hinges; first and second anchor members, each comprising a support portion on each side of the hinges mounted to a support structure,, a central portion lying along said pivot axis, said central portion connected to said second end of one hinge of said pair of torsional hinges; first and second enlarged mounting areas, lying along said pivot axis and connected one each to said central portion of said first and second anchor members opposite said connection to said torsional hinge: the support portions on each side of the hinges being connected together by a region having a reduced cross-sectional area that separate the enlarged areas and from the anchor members, the reduced cross-sectional area resulting in the enlarged mounting area being rigidly connected to the torsional hinges and flexibly connected to the anchor support portions on either side of the hinge axis; ferromagnetic material or a permanent magnet, attached to at least one of said enlarged mounting area; an electrical coil, located proximate said ferromagnetic material or permanent magnet, wherein said oscillations of said oscillating member are provided by magnetic flux produced by said electrical coil interacting with said ferromagnetic material or permanent magnet; and at least one piezoelectric element, mounted to the other one of said anchor members for monitoring the angular position of said oscillating member. a pair of torsional hinges,, each hinge of said pair of torsional hinges extending along a pivot axis from a first end to a second end; an oscillating member located between said torsional hinges and connected to said first end of each of said torsional hinges; first and second anchor members, each comprising a support portion on each side of the hinges mounted to a support structure,, a central portion lying along said pivot axis, said central portion connected to said second end of one hinge of said pair of torsional hinges; first and second enlarged mounting areas, lying along said pivot axis and connected one each to said central portion of said first and second anchor members opposite said connection to said torsional hinge: the support portions on each side of the hinges being connected together by a region having a reduced cross-sectional area that separate the enlarged areas and from the anchor members, the reduced cross-sectional area resulting in the enlarged mounting area being rigidly connected to the torsional hinges and flexibly connected to the anchor support portions on either side of the hinge axis; ferromagnetic material or a permanent magnet, attached to at least one of said enlarged mounting area; an electrical coil, located proximate said ferromagnetic material or permanent magnet, wherein said oscillations of said oscillating member are provided by magnetic flux produced by said electrical coil interacting with said ferromagnetic material or permanent magnet; and at least one piezoelectric element, mounted to the other one of said anchor members for monitoring the angular position of said oscillating member. the support portions on each side of the hinges being connected together by a region having a reduced cross-sectional area that separate the enlarged areas and from the anchor members, the reduced cross-sectional area resulting in the enlarged mounting area being rigidly connected to the torsional hinges and flexibly connected to the anchor support portions on either side of the hinge axis; ferromagnetic material or a permanent magnet, attached to at least one of said enlarged mounting area; an electrical coil, located proximate said ferromagnetic material or permanent magnet, wherein said oscillations of said oscillating member are provided by magnetic flux produced by said electrical coil interacting with said ferromagnetic material or permanent magnet; and at least one piezoelectric element, mounted to the other one of said anchor members for monitoring the angular position of said oscillating member.
