<p>A linear actuator comprising a motor having an output shaft. A casing of the motor has an inner cavity defining a joint surface. A threaded shaft is within the inner cavity of the casing, and a bearing within the inner cavity. A coupling assembly couples the output shaft to the threaded shaft, and has a first coupling component receiving the rotational output from the motor, and a second coupling component coupled to the first coupling component for transmission of the rotational output to the threaded shaft. A substantial portion of a coupling is in an axial section of the linear actuator delimited by a proximal and distal surface of the bearing. A sliding tube is within the inner cavity and translates relative to the casing. A traveling nut is connected to the sliding tube for moving therewith for converting a rotational motion of the threaded shaft into a translation of the sliding tube.</p> |
