Abstract:
A transmission for connecting a rotary motor output shaft to a rectilinear actuator which is movable rectilinearly along an actuator axis of translation, the transmission comprising:a frame with a bore formed therein; an eccentric adapted to position the frame on the rotary motor output shaft, the eccentric being rotatably mounted in the bore of the frame to rotate relative to the frame; and a rectilinear guide connected to the frame, the rectilinear guide having a slide surface adapted to be slidably seated against the rectilinear actuator allowing the frame to slide substantially rectilinearly relative to the rectilinear actuator, wherein the frame has a recess formed therein, the recess being sized and shaped for movably locating at least part of the rectilinear actuator in the recess, the rectilinear guide extending across the recess.
