Flexible ribbon cable strap carries heat and electrical signals across rotational shaft without creating backlash torques at both extremes of rotation through limited angular range. Keeps its flexibility and nonbacklash properties at cryogenic temperatures. Used to connect delicate equipment, such as movable infrared sensors, requiring precise positioning. Adapted to greater or lesser angular travel by changing its length and offset and bias of ribbon cables.
