Abstract
An apparatus which provides lateral compensation through angular deflection is primarily intended to correct a lack of parallelism between a pair of misaligned support shafts. The compensating apparatus is preferably formed of an elastically deformable fatigue resistant material and includes a rigid central region for resisting compressive and tensile loads without significant deflection. The compensator is particularly adapted for use with precision uniaxial movement devices such as positioning tables, wayslides and carriages commonly found in manual, automatic and numerically controlled machinery.
