Abstract
An actuator includes an actuator piston movable along an axis, a first stop member rotatable about the axis and configured to limit the movement of the actuator piston in a first direction along the axis, a second stop member movable along the axis and configured to limit the movement of the actuator piston in a second direction along the axis, wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction. A first screw connection is present between the first stop member and the second stop member such that rotation of the first stop member about the axis causes movement of the second stop member along the axis to vary the amount by which the actuator piston can move along the axis in use.

An actuator comprising:
- an actuator piston movable along an axis;
- a first stop member rotatable about the axis and configured to limit the movement of the actuator piston in a first direction along the axis;
- and
- a second stop member movable along the axis and configured to limit the movement of the actuator piston in a second direction along the axis, wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction;
- wherein the first stop member is connected to the second stop member via a screw connection, and the screw connection between the first stop member and the second stop member is configured such that rotation of the first stop member about the axis causes movement of the second stop member along the axis to vary the amount by which the actuator piston can move along the axis in use of the actuator.
