【 Working Principle 】

The U fork acts as a mechanical coupling between a flexible shaft and the actuator or device it controls. The fork’s prongs securely hold the shaft end, allowing linear or rotational motion to be transmitted efficiently. When the flexible shaft rotates or moves, the U-fork ensures smooth transfer of motion to the connected component, enabling accurate remote control of mechanical systems.
