APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AN ACTUATOR MOUNTING ASSEMBLY WITH A PIVOTING PLATE

摘要

An actuator mounting assembly comprising a base mounted to an item of equipment and having a pivoting plate hole and a locking pin hole, a pivoting plate having a base hole, a locking pin hole, and a actuator hole, a base pin disposed in the pivoting plate base hole, a locking pin adapted to be removably disposed in the pivoting plate locking pin hole, and an actuator pin disposed in the actuator hole. The pivoting plate is pivotally connected to the base at the pivoting plate hole, the cap end of the actuator is pivotally connected to the pivoting plate at the actuator hole, the piston end of the actuator is pivotally connected to the item of equipment, and the base locking pin hole and the pivoting plate locking pin hole are aligned when the locking pin is inserted therethrough.
