Abstract

An actuation device for use with a linearly actuated control element. The actuation device comprises a take-up body, a housing enclosing the take-up body, a shaft extending outwardly of the housing for rotating the take-up body, a flexible tension and compression element secured at one end thereof to the take-up body and a tube member extending outwardly of the housing and enclosing at least a part of the tension and compression element. The tension and compression element comprises a flexible guide strand and a plurality of elongated, rounded compression bodies wherein each compression body is threaded onto the flexible guide strand and positioned closely adjacent one another to form a tight packing.
