Claim 8:
9. A flexure spacer coupling comprising:
a drive member connector rigidly coupled to a driving shaft;
a load member connector rigidly coupled to a driven shaft;
an internal viscous rotational damping assembly configured for transmitting torque between the drive member connector and the load member connector;
a spacer tube including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is rigidly connected to the drive member connector, wherein the second end is rigidly connected to the load member connector, wherein the spacer tube is configured to operably transmit torque from the driving input shaft to the driven output shaft, and wherein the spacer tube includes a longitudinal axis and an inner surface that extends along the longitudinal axis;
a damper bar disposed within the spacer tube, wherein the damper bar includes an outer surface, wherein a cavity is defined between the outer surface of the damper bar and the inner surface of the spacer tube; and
a viscous fluid disposed within the cavity.
