Abstract
A compact actuator is disclosed in which the motor, gear reduction and motion control functions are performed by an integral array of components. Instead of having separate interconnected units to perform these functions, the integral array compacts these functions into a single unit, allowing a reduction in the overall length and total weight of an actuator capable of a given output stroke and force.
