METHOD FOR CONDENSATION REDUCTION IN LINEAR ELECTROMECHANICAL ACTUATORS

摘要

An actuator includes a housing with a linear motor slider. A portion of the linear motor slider is positioned in the housing. A transfer plate is disposed on an end of the linear motor slider. A transfer plate chamber is positioned within the housing and is divided by the transfer plate into aft and forward chambers. An aft vent is disposed in the aft chamber and includes a first membrane positioned over the aft vent. A forward vent is disposed in the aft chamber and includes a second membrane positioned over the forward vent. The first and second membranes include at least one of a hydrophobic or oleophobic material.
