Abstract:
A compensated actuator, in various embodiments, comprises a base and an electric actuator and a fluid actuator interconnected to cooperatively allow for movement of an upper deck frame to which one or more compensated actuators are connected with or without using a pivoting connector. When so connected, a predetermined set of compensated actuators are connected to the upper deck frame and a platform intermediate the upper deck frame and the platform in a predetermined pattern and linear forces from the electric actuator and fluid actuator combined to impart rotation to an output attachment point.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of providing a motion base, comprising:\n a. coupling a predetermined set of compensated actuators to an upper deck frame and a platform intermediate the upper deck frame and the platform in a predetermined pattern, the upper deck frame comprising a predetermined outer perimeter, each compensated actuator of the predetermined set of compensated actuators comprising:\n i. a base, comprising:\n 1. a first attachment point configured to be connected to the platform at a first predetermined location with respect to the upper deck frame; \n 2. a second attachment point configured to be connected to the platform at a second predetermined location with respect to the upper deck frame proximate the outer perimeter; \n 3. a linear actuator joint; \n 4. a fluid actuator joint; and \n 5. a connector joint; \n \n ii. a pivoting connector, comprising:\n 1. an output attachment point configured to be pivotally attached to a payload-bearing deck; \n 2. a first connector joint; and \n 3. a second connector joint; \n 4. a pivot configured to be pivotally accepted into the base at the connector joint; \n \n iii. an electric actuator, comprising:\n 1. a first joint configured to be cooperatively and pivotally connected to the connector at the first joint and the first connector joint; and \n 2. a first base joint configured to be cooperatively and pivotally connected to the base at the linear actuator joint; and \n \n iv. a fluid actuator, configured to be cooperatively connected to the electric actuator, the fluid actuator comprising:\n 1. a second joint configured to be pivotally connected to the pivoting connector at the second connector joint; and \n 2. a second base joint configured to be pivotally connected to the base at the fluid actuator joint; \n \n b. using the pivoting connector to combine linear forces from the electric actuator and fluid actuator and impart rotation to the output attachment point; c. compensating for a movable load present on the deck by providing an additional force in the form of fluid pressure to one of the fluid actuators as a compensating pressure; and d. once the compensating pressure is set, allowing the electrical actuator corresponding to the one of the fluid actuators to perform a predetermined set of functions.
