Abstract:
An apparatus, comprising:a pedestal; a first rotatable actuator having a first actuator rotation axis; a second rotatable actuator having a second actuator rotation axis, the second actuator rotation axis being substantially parallel to the first actuator rotation axis, the first actuator rotation axis and the second actuator rotation axis defining an actuator plane; a first linkage arm attached to the first rotatable acutator; a second linkage arm attached to the second rotatable actuator; a first gimbal spring connecting the first linkage arm to the pedestal, the first gimbal spring having a first gimbal spring effective pivot; a second gimbal spring connecting the second linkage arm to the pedestal, the second gimbal spring having a second gimbal spring effective pivot; and a coupling mechanism that inhibits the first rotatable actuator and the second rotatable actuator from simultaneously rotating in the opposite sense about their respective axes.
