Abstract: Leadscrew and nut actuators are described. The leadscrew and nut actuators include a leadscrew having an external thread and formed from a first material, a nut configured to receive the leadscrew, the nut having an internal thread and formed from a second material, and an insert arranged between the internal thread of the nut and the external thread of the leadscrew, the insert configured to transfer force between the external thread and the internal thread and prevent material contact between the leadscrew and the nut. The insert is formed of a third material different from the first material and the second material.

Abstract: A bracket assembly includes a first bracket arranged along a damping axis and having a clevis body, a second bracket, and a vibration isolator including an elastomeric body. The second bracket is arranged along the damping axis and has a clevis portion and a mount portion. The clevis portion slidably receives the clevis body of the first bracket. The elastomeric body is arranged axially between the first bracket and the second bracket and is fixedly arranged between the clevis portion of the second bracket and the clevis body of the first bracket through an on-axis load path and through an off-axis load path extending through the bracket assembly. Actuator arrangements and methods of damping vibrational forces are also described.
