Abstract:
A limited rotation electromechanical rotary actuator includes a stator having an aperture sized to accept a rotor assembly and a rectangular coil. A rotor assembly is bidirectionally operable with the stator over a limited range of rotation. The rotor assembly includes an output shaft and a two-pole magnet and a position sensor shaft, wherein the output shaft and position sensor shaft are each rigidly attached to only a portion of the magnet. The rotor assembly includes apertures for allowing an electrical coil to pass through. The electrical coil extends around the magnet on four sides and is excitable for providing bidirectional torque to the rotor.

Claim (Index 11):
An electromechanical, limited rotation rotary actuator comprising:\n a stator having a bore extending therein; a two-pole, diametral-magnetized magnet extending into the bore and rotatable about a longitudinal axis, wherein the magnet is defined as having opposing first and second axial ends and a peripheral radial surface extending therearound; a first shaft affixed to the magnet by a first connector proximate the first axial end of the magnet and rotatable about the longitudinal axis, wherein a first aperture is formed between an axial end of the first shaft and the first axial end of the magnet; a second shaft affixed to the magnet by a second connector proximate the second axial end and rotatable about the longitudinal axis, wherein a second aperture is formed between an axial end of the second shaft and the second axial end of the magnet; an electrical coil fixed within the bore, wherein the electrical coil surrounds the magnet within a plane passing through the longitudinal axis, the plane passing through the opposing first and second ends of the magnet and the peripheral radial surface, wherein the peripheral side of the magnet interacts with opposing active coil portions, and wherein opposing first and second end-turns of the coil are carried within the first and second apertures, respectively, and wherein exciting the coil provides limited rotation of the first and second connections between the opposing active coil portions, thus providing limited rotation of the magnet and bidirectional torque to the shafts.
