Hi all
Those inventive Finns have been at it again !
14mm O-ring strip, material EPDM, which is very resistant to UV and cold. The 100mm long element produces 75Nm with a little less than 10° twist. This is also very stiff in other directions where movement is not desired.
I like the split housing , however I bet it is a 2 man job to bolt the think together with all the parts in the right place ?
I reckon the moving part needs plates at both ends to stop the elastomers from creeping out.
I did find some of this on Ebay cheap , it is a sort of continuous [ i.e linear ] ' O ' ring material.
