Figure 1
Schematic of the mechanical bender: the mirror (M) is supported by the clamps (C) attached to levers (L). The cam mechanism (CM, here not detailed for property-rights reasons) pushes the follower (F), compressing the spring (S) against the force bar (FB). Because of the compression of the spring, reaction forces are applied to the levers (FL), creating a torque (T) on the mirror ends.
