  • Patent number: 11181401
    Abstract: Actuator bracket having a sensor is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a bracket to couple a controller to an actuator. The bracket has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a first side extending from the first end to the second end. The first end is to couple to an actuator and the second end is to couple to a controller. The apparatus also includes a first sensor coupled to the first side at the first end of the bracket. The first sensor is to measure a characteristic of the first end when the bracket is coupled to the actuator.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10330504
    Abstract: Actuator bracket having a sensor is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a bracket to couple to a controller at a first location and to couple to an actuator at a second location different than the first location. The bracket includes cavities defined by ribs of a first side. The apparatus also includes a first sensor coupled to the bracket adjacent the first location. The first sensor is to measure a characteristic of a portion of the bracket adjacent the first location.

  • Patent number: 9945701
    Abstract: Actuator bracket having a sensor is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a bracket having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side is to couple to a first surface of an actuator. The second side is to couple to a controller. The apparatus also includes a first sensor coupled to the first side of the bracket. When the bracket is coupled to the first surface of the actuator, the first sensor is adjacent the first surface to measure a characteristic of the first surface of the actuator.

  • Patent number: 9097269
    Abstract: Bracket assemblies for use with actuators are described. An example apparatus includes a bracket defining first apertures and second apertures. The first apertures are to receive fasteners to couple a first end of the bracket to an actuator. One or more of the second apertures is to receive fasteners to couple a controller to the bracket. The actuator is to be on a first side of the bracket and the controller to be on a second side of the bracket. The example apparatus also includes an adjuster to be coupled to the bracket. The adjuster is to vary a distance between a second end of the bracket and the actuator and to support the second end relative to the actuator.
