A mechanical actuator for translating rotational motion to linear motion. The actuator includes a motor, a screw assembly, a bearing assembly, and first and second lubrication systems. The screw assembly includes a housing, a threaded screw shaft disposed within the housing, a nut assembly, and an extension tube. The threaded screw shaft is rotatable by the motor. The nut assembly is arranged to move in either direction along a longitudinal axis of the threaded screw shaft when the threaded screw shaft is in rotational motion, thereby moving the extension tube between an extended position and a retracted position. The bearing assembly is arranged to provide support to at least a portion of a length of the threaded screw shaft. A pathway of the first lubrication system is remote and isolated from a pathway of the second lubrication system.

Mechanical actuator

A disc brake rotor comprises an internally disposed splined surface defining a circular opening and including one or more axially disposed internal splines that are adapted to be received on external splines of a splined structure of a wheel hub, the surface including a non-continuity such as a cut-away portion of the surface into which independent splines are selectively actuable to align with the internal splines as a part of the surface to allow the rotor to be connected to or released from the hub without using any tools or the like. Preferably, the independent splines are finger actuable, and provide through a workpiece comprising a locking hammer of locking foot.
