<p>A mechanical actuator for converting rotation of a driven input member into a rotation of an output axle over a limited angular range of less than 180 DEG , comprises a driven input member (18) connectable to a drive screw (20) rotable about a fixed axis. A drive nut (22) is located on the drive screw. The drive nut moves along the length of the drive screw as the drive screw is rotated. The actuator further comprises a crank arm having a first member (24) and a second member (26) slideably inner-connected so that the first and second members slide longtudinally with respect to each other. The first member (24) is connected to the drive nut (22) so that the crank arm can pivot about the drive nut. The second member (26) is connected to the output axle (10) so that, as the drive nut (22) moves along the drive screw (20), the axle (10) connected to the second member (26) is rotated. The first member (24) of the crank arm slides along the second member (26) of the crank arm as the drive nut (22) moves and the axle (10) turns.</p> |
