Abstract

The overtravel stop mechanism includes: a screw shaft mounted to and arranged to rotate with the second end of the compliant actuator shaft, the screw shaft having an outer thread extending in the axial direction; a nut threadedly mounted to the outer thread of the screw shaft that moves axially relative to the screw shaft as the screw shaft rotates; a first stop fixed to and radially extending from the screw shaft to define the axial limit of movement of the nut relative to the screw shaft, in a first axial direction.
