A torque motor assembly, comprising:
- a shell having a first wall and a second wall defining a cavity;
- a torque motor positioned at least partially within the cavity;
- at least one compliant pad positioned between the first wall and the torque motor and configured to trap at least one wire within the shell, wherein the at least one compliant pad is configured to be inert with respect to the at least one wire.
A housing for a torque motor, comprising:
- a shell, the shell having a first wall and a second wall defining a cavity configured to receive a torque motor;
- and
- a first pad arranged within the shell and adjacent the first wall, and a second, complaint pad arranged adjacent the first pad, wherein the first and second pads are configured to trap at least one wire therebetween, wherein the second compliant pad is configured to be inert with respect to the at least one wire.
A method of assembling a torque motor assembly, including:
- inserting a first pad into a shell adjacent a top wall of the shell;
- routing at least one wire through a central opening in a second compliant pad;
- inserting the second pad into the shell adjacent the first pad such that the at least one wire is trapped between the first and second pads;
- and
- inserting a torque motor into the shell adjacent the second pad.
