Abstract
A damper driving arrangement is disclosed. The arrangement includes an actuator and a torque amplifier. The actuator has a housing for enclosing components of the actuator and an output shaft. The torque amplifier is positioned outside the housing and coupled to the output shaft of the actuator and a driving shaft of a damper. The torque amplifier is configured to amplify torque received from the actuator and transfer amplified torque to the damper.
