Abstract: A rotary actuator including a motor, gears, and a sensor connected to an output shaft. Electronics is communicatively connected to monitor sensor position and output a simulated optical encoder response.

Abstract: An actuator for use with an external controller, either alone or in a group including other actuators controlled from the same external controller. The actuator includes a housing for encasing internal components of the device; a motor assembly for creating motion, the motor assembly being disposed within the housing; and a drive assembly for driving a pushrod, the drive assembly being arranged within the housing and slidingly connected to the motor assembly. A remote control communication circuit is electrically connected to the motor. The actuator includes an in line planetary gear and a linear position sensor. The actuator may include a hand held remote controller which utilizes tilt for proportional control, and a distributed network.
