Abstract
The present invention is directed to an actuator assembly (10) having an actuator device (26) operably associated with a housing (16), one or more rotating gear members (46, 48, 52) operably associated with the actuator device (26), a bearing member (76) operably associated with the one or more rotating gear members (46, 48, 52), and a cam (66) operably associated with the one or more rotating gear members (46, 48, 52), for translating rotary motion of the gear members (46, 48, 52) to axial motion. When the actuator 0 device (26) is actuated, the one or more rotating gear members (46, 48, 52) rotate, causing the bearing member (76) to move on the cam (66).
