  • Self-binding non-jamming stop module for rotary drive actuator
    Patent number: 11808332
    Abstract: A rotary actuator has a stop module configured to mechanically link two gear stages travelling at different rotational speeds when an end-of-stroke travel limit is reached, thereby causing the rotary actuator to bind because relative motion between the gear stages is impeded.
