Claims8
A system comprising:
- a housing comprising a cavity for mounting a motorized actuator,
- the cavity comprising a length longer than a length of the actuator, thereby providing a first space between a first end of the actuator and a first end of the cavity, and providing a second space between an opposing second end of the actuator and an opposing second end of the cavity, when the actuator is laterally centered along the length of the housing;
- a first bracket that attaches to the first end of the actuator, the first bracket comprising one or more holes through which a screw is inserted into one or more respective elongated slots in a first end of the housing;
- a second bracket that attaches to the opposing second end of the actuator, the second bracket comprising one or more holes through which a screw is inserted into one or more respective elongated slots in a second opposing end of the housing;
- a first clamping plate at the first end of the housing, threaded for receiving the screw inserted through the first bracket and elongated slot;
- and
- a second clamping plate at the second opposing end of the housing, threaded for receiving the screw inserted through the second bracket and elongated slot;
- wherein the actuator is positioned within said cavity while said screws are loose to allow for positioning said actuator along said elongated slots.
