Abstract
A load directing trunnion mount for a linear actuator is constructed to receive all of the tensile forces exerted on the actuator shaft or lead screw of the linear actuator. In this manner, the load directing trunnion mount relieves a transmission drive element (for example, a drive gear or a sprocket or pulley) and the transmission housing enclosing the drive element from tensile forces exerted on the actuator shaft during use of the linear actuator.
