Abstract
An actuator includes a housing having an input shaft, a transmission, an output shaft, a shaft collar assembly, and an encoder. The shaft collar assembly has an annular body for holding an encoder target and a fastening assembly for affixing the assembly to the output shaft. The location of the encoder target can be adjusted during assembly via an internal bore so that it is in a desired position relative to an encoder sensor when assembly is complete.
