Abstract
A variable vane assembly according to an example of the present disclosure includes an actuator. A connection linkage is pivotable by the actuator. A component receives direct input from the connection linkage providing a cam surface. A driving linkage is interfaced with the cam surface. A variable vane is coupled to the driving linkage. The pivoting of the component and cam surface causes the driving linkage to pivot the vane.
