Abstract
An attachment assembly for connecting an actuator to a frame, a method for manufacturing this attachment assembly and a method for reducing backlash in an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly comprises: an outer yoke having a first end and an opposite second end and defining an internal cavity at said second end. The outer yoke has an aperture provided at its second end connected to the cavity; and an inner yoke located within the cavity. A tie bar having a ball shaped end extends through said aperture such that the ball shaped end is positioned within the cavity and cannot pass through the aperture. A spring is provided at said first end of said outer yoke that is configured to bias the inner yoke in the direction of the aperture. The attachment also includes shearable means for holding the inner yoke.
