Abstract
A multi-functional electronic actuator for actuating multiple independent systems on an automotive vehicle includes a magnet assembly, a rotor mounted within the magnet assembly having an armature and a shaft that rotates when the armature is energized, a device for translating the rotor with respect to the magnet assembly, and devices for actuating a first independent system on the automotive vehicle utilizing the rotational motion of the shaft and for actuating a second independent system on the automotive vehicle utilizing the translation of the rotor shaft with respect to the magnet assembly. Two methods for translating the rotor with respect to the magnet assembly are described as well as various linkages that may be used to actuate the independent systems on the automotive vehicle.
