A novel flexural kinematic fluid or electrical coupling in which a pair of components is deterministically kinematically coupled with repeatable accuracy of positioning with respect to one another by the use of three spherical surfaces on one component, and three grooves in the other component, and with holes passing through one component through the contact zones between the spherical surface-to-groove contact points and out through the other component. For electrical contact, instead of fluid flow holes at the Hertzian interface, electrical contact pads are used. <IMAGE> |
