Abstract
Actuator bracket having a sensor is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a bracket to couple to a controller at a first location and to couple to an actuator at a second location different than the first location. The bracket includes cavities defined by ribs of a first side. The apparatus also includes a first sensor coupled to the bracket adjacent the first location. The first sensor is to measure a characteristic of a portion of the bracket adjacent the first location.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a bracket to directly couple to a controller at a first location and to directly couple to an actuator at a second location different than the first location, wherein the bracket includes cavities defined by ribs of a first side, the ribs defining a plane of the first side;
- and
- a first sensor coupled to the bracket at the first location, the first sensor to measure a characteristic of a portion of the bracket at the first location, wherein the first sensor is disposed within one of the cavities between the plane of the first side and a second side of the bracket.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for coupling a controller to an actuator, wherein the means for coupling includes cavities defined by ribs of a first side, the ribs defining a plane of the first side;
- and
- means for sensing directly coupled to the means for coupling, the means for sensing disposed within one of the cavities between the plane of the first side and a second side of the means for coupling, wherein, when the means for coupling is directly coupled to the controller at a first location, the means for sensing is at the first location to measure a characteristic of a portion of the means for coupling at the first location.
