  • Apparatus and method for adjusting the torsional output of a flexible pivot
    Patent number: 4327527
    Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the torsional output of a flexible pivot assembly is provided. The apparatus precisely rotates the flexible pivot to a maximum rotational angle at which the torsional output of the flexible pivot is trimmed to a predetermined value by an air abrasive unit. After the trimming the flexible pivot is rotated to an intermediate rotational angle and its torsional output rechecked. Electronic circuits are included to automatically control the air abrasive unit to trim output torque of the flexible pivot to its desired value, and to signify the torsional output at the intermediate rotational angle is within specifications.
