Abstract: The equations for calculating the deformation of parallelogram
type flexible guide, which is caused by the external force, are
derived. The correctness of these equations is verified by
comparison with other research results and through the concrete
design. These equations are applicable for flexible guides with
any size.
Key words: Flexible
guide Elastic deformation
