Abstract
An apparatus comprising a rotating element, a rotary to linear converter, a linearly moving element that linearly extends and retracts when the rotating element rotates in first and second directions, a rotary sensor assembly, integrally constructed with the rotating element, for determining relative movement of the rotating element and for thereby determining relative movement of the linearly moving element, a linear sensor assembly, integrally constructed with the linearly moving element, for providing an absolute position signal each time that the linearly moving element extends or retracts to a predetermined position.
