Abstract
An actuation device is provided. An actuator is connected between two components of a frame and a linkage mechanism such that movement of an actuating component causes movement of the linkage mechanism so as to move a user interface device. A braking device is connected between two components of the frame and the linkage mechanism such that an increase of the resistance brakes the movement of the linkage mechanism imparted by the actuation device.
