ABSTRACT:
A flexure mounted gimbal support assembly for limited angular rotation hag a flexure assembly of an open web construction mounted between a platform and a gimbal assembly via a ball bearing assembly. The flexure assembly has a plurality of flexure elements having a high flexibility so that the flexure assembly provides less resistance to rotational motion than the static ball-bearing friction over the limited angular rotation. A slip-ring assembly is mounted inboard of the flexure assembly to provide direct connection to angle measuring resolvers and direct-drive dc torque motors, which eliminates slip-ring brush-on-ring effects and torque motor brush friction effects.
