Abstract

An actuator, having: an actuator body extending between an actuator top and an actuator bottom, a top actuator support located at the actuator top and a bottom actuator support located at the actuator bottom, wherein the actuator body includes: a wall defining an outer boundary and extending longitudinally from a first end to a second end and transversely from a first side to a second side, wherein: the wall is nonmetal; the wall defines: a first segment extending longitudinally between the first and second ends and transversely from the first side to a segment junction; and a second segment extending longitudinally between the first and second ends and transversely from the second side to the segment junction; and the first segment has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the second segment has a second CTE that differs from the first CTE, to define a transverse CTE gradient.
