Abstract:
An apparatus for damping an actuator includes an inerter. The inerter includes a first terminal and a second terminal movable relative to one another and configured to be mutually exclusively coupled to a support structure and a movable device actuated by an actuator. The inerter further includes a threaded shaft coupled to and movable along the inerter axis with one of the first terminal and the second terminal. The inerter additionally includes a flywheel rotatable in proportion to movement of the threaded shaft in response to axial acceleration of the first terminal relative to the second terminal during actuation of the movable device by the actuator. The inerter reduces actuator-load-oscillatory amplitude at resonance of the actuator and movable device relative to the actuator-load-oscillatory amplitude that would otherwise occur using the same actuator without an inerter.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein actuating the movable device using the linear actuator comprises:\n actuating the movable device using an actuator motor of a linear electro-mechanical actuator, the actuator motor coupled to the threaded shaft; the flywheel having a flywheel annulus threadably engaged to the threaded shaft and rotatably coupled to the actuator motor; and operation of the actuator motor causing rotational and axial acceleration of the threaded shaft and proportional rotational acceleration of the flywheel.
