Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rotary actuator is provided. The rotary actuator includes a stator assembly centered along a longitudinal axis of the rotary actuator. The rotary actuator also includes a rotor assembly surrounding the stator assembly. The rotor assembly is rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the stator assembly. The rotary actuator also includes first and second bearing assemblies mounted at adjacent opposed axial ends of the stator assembly and connected between the stator assembly and rotor assembly to allow for the rotation of the rotor assembly about the longitudinal axis relative to the stator assembly. A hydraulic actuation arrangement is formed between the rotor assembly and the stator assembly. The hydraulic actuation arrangement includes at least one first pressure chamber and at least one second pressure chamber. At least one of the at least one first pressure chamber and the at least one second pressure chamber has a variable volume.
