Abstract
An actuator for moving a first component relative to a second component includes a first actuating mechanism secured to the first component and having a first motor, a first nut, and a first shaft secured to the first motor and the first nut such that the first nut is rotatable with the first motor. A second actuating mechanism is secured to the second component and has a second motor, a second nut, and a second shaft secured to the second motor and the second nut such that the second nut is rotatable with the second motor. A screw is threadably engaged with the first nut and the second nut such that rotation of at least one of the first motor and the second motor causes movement between the first and second nuts to move the second component relative to the first component.
