PACKAGING ARRANGEMENT FOR AN INCREMENT POSITION SENSOR

摘要

An engine actuator includes a sensor assembly driven by an electric motor through a worm gear. An output gear is also driven by the electric motor about an axis transverse to the electric motor output shaft. A bearing located between the actuator housing and the output gear shaft limits gear shake of the output gear during operation of the engine actuator. A coupling mounted on the output gear shaft outside the actuator housing limits axial movement of the output gear shaft.
