A vibration damping apparatus for mounting an electric actuator on a hydraulic drive is disclosed herein. A mounting assembly comprises a mounting adapter and a vibration damping clamp. A base plate is coupled to and positioned between a housing of the electric actuator and the drive to mount the actuator housing to the drive. A support arm extends from the base plate and the damping clamp is coupled to a distal end of the support arm. The damping clamp extends circumferentially about a housing of an electric motor of the actuator to secure the electric motor to the drive. A fastener may couple a drive adapter to a trunnion, and a magnet is mounted to the fastener and positioned adjacent to a magnetic field sensor positioned within an electric actuator housing. A spring biases the magnet into a positional range adjacent to the field sensor.
