Abstract
An actuator having two or more interconnected movement components, wherein the movement components are designed as linear actuators with substantially coaxial longitudinal axes or longitudinal axes that are parallel to each other and that are interconnected in longitudinal direction such that their linear movements are superimposed on one another, and such that at least one of the linear actuators can be stopped at one or several predetermined positions.
Claims27
An actuator comprising two or more interconnected movement components, wherein the movement components comprise linear actuators with substantially coaxial longitudinal axes or longitudinal axes that are parallel to each other and that are interconnected in longitudinal direction such that their linear movements are superimposed on one another, and such that at least one of the linear actuators is adapted for being stopped at one or more predetermined positions.
A method for deflecting an actuator comprising two or more interconnected movement components, wherein the movement components comprise linear actuators with substantially coaxial longitudinal axes or longitudinal axes that are parallel to each other and that are interconnected in longitudinal direction such that their linear movements are superimposed on one another, and such that at least one of the linear actuators is adapted for being stopped at one or more predetermined positions, the method comprising:
- stopping a first movement component at a predetermined position, and
- causing a second movement component to make a deflection.
