Abstract:
1. A force control module for controlling a force required for actuating an electromechanical actuator comprising: a lever element couplable to the electromechanical actuator; a fulcrum element displaceable relative to the lever element to vary a fulcrum point position, the fulcrum element engageable with the lever element at the varied fulcrum point position, the lever element configured such that an actuation of the electromechanical actuator causes a displacement of the lever element about the fulcrum element; and a set of displacement control units that are configured and disposed for controlling the displacement of the fulcrum element relative to the lever element, wherein a force required for actuating the electromechanical actuator and hence displace the lever element about the fulcrum element is dependent upon the fulcrum point position; and wherein the fulcrum element is configured to be displaceable along a length of the lever element to thereby vary the fulcrum point position between a first position and a second position along the length of the lever element.
