Abstract
Cantilever shafts (34, 40) support bearing assemblies (54, 56) over which is mounted a tuned compliance or constraint member (92) including flexure members (102, 104, 106) which minimize deflection of the shafts and improve operation of associated rotary tools (18, 20). An improved lock nut (70-86) permits precise installation of the bearing assemblies.
