Hi fellows,
I am working on design of a servo mechanism that needs shifting the rotation axis from one axis to another parallel one. I wonder If flexible shaft can be used to transmit the motion. Are flexible couplings precise in transmitting the motion or there is significant backlash or dead-zone between input and output angles? I need accuracy of less than 1 degree.
The motion is bidirectional. The mechanism should work in high temperature (300C). The speed and torque is relatively low and mechanism is used to positioning a vane.
P.S: What is the main difference between the flexible shaft and the universal shaft?
