Claim 0:
1. A system for stabilizing a downhole tool, comprising:
a housing having a bore therethrough;
a chassis;
a plurality of linear wave springs arranged around an outer circumference of the chassis, the plurality of linear wave springs being supported on a first end by a support member;
a first configuration wherein the chassis and the plurality of linear wave springs are located outside of the housing;
a second configuration wherein the chassis and the plurality of linear wave springs are inserted into the housing; and
a third configuration wherein a compression member at a second end of the plurality of linear wave springs applies a compressive force to the plurality of linear wave springs, and the plurality of linear wave springs applies a radial force against the housing in the third configuration, such that a force ratio of the compressive force to the radial force is approximately 1.
