Abstract
A guide assembly, comprising: an outer guide member; an inner guide member at least partially enclosed by the outer guide member, the outer guide member and the inner guide member delimiting a space therebetween; an elastic member disposed in the space, enclosing the inner guide member and being compressible along an axial direction; a support member; and an actuation member configured to axially compress the elastic member against the support member. The inner guide member comprises an axially extending guiding surface facing the elastic member for restricting movement of the elastic member in a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction. A length of an axial overlap between the guiding surface of the inner guide member and the elastic member is at least two thirds of an axial length of the elastic member.
