Abstract
An actuator system comprising a shared link arranged to pivot about a first axis relative to a reference structure, a controlled element arranged to pivot about a second axis relative to the reference structure, a first member arranged to pivot about a third axis relative to the shared link and a fourth axis relative to the controlled member, a first actuator arranged to control a first variable distance between the third axis and fourth axis, a second member arranged to pivot about a fifth axis relative to the shared link and a sixth axis relative to the controlled element, a second actuator arranged to control a second variable distance between the fifth axis and the sixth axis, the system configured such that a change in the first variable distance causes rotation of the controlled element about the second axis when the second variable distance is constant and vice versa.
