1. A method for making a motion control feature for an actuator device, the method comprising,providing a moveable component coupled to an opposing fixed component for out-of-plane rotational movement of the moveable component relative to the fixed component;

  • forming first and second flaps respectively extending from the moveable and fixed components and toward the opposing component;

    wherein the first and second flaps define a gap between the two flaps; and

    forming a damping material extending across the gap and coupled to the first and second flaps, wherein the damping material is configured to permit the out-of-plane rotational movement of the movable component relative to the fixed component and to inhibit lateral motion of the movable component relative to the fixed component.
