ABSTRACT:
A shaft slides within a tube. A relatively high-rate leaf spring is positioned to exert its force against the outer surface of the shaft. The leaf spring provides optimal sliding force between the shaft and the tube with minimum friction, while also functioning to minimize rotational lash. Indents located on the exterior surface of the tube are directed radially inward to further minimize rotational lash.
