Abstract
A motor gearbox system includes a motor. The system further includes a mount configured to couple to the motor. The system also includes a housing configured to couple to the mount, and a coupler configured to couple to the housing, the coupler having at least one mounting feature configured to couple to a component. The system further includes a gear system operably coupled to the motor and configured to be disposed, at least in part, within a gearbox formed by the coupled mount, housing and coupler. The system includes an output shaft operably coupled to the gear system.
