Linear actuator system and method

A linear actuator system (10) is described that includes a linear actuator (12), a first motor (18), and a second motor (14). The linear actuator (12) is configured to transmit rotational motion to linear motion. The first motor (18) is operatively connected to the linear actuator (12). The second m...

Zusammenfassung:A linear actuator system (10) is described that includes a linear actuator (12), a first motor (18), and a second motor (14). The linear actuator (12) is configured to transmit rotational motion to linear motion. The first motor (18) is operatively connected to the linear actuator (12). The second motor (14) is also operatively connected to the linear actuator (12). The first motor (18) is configured to provide a different amount of force and a different speed to the linear actuator (12) than the second motor (14). Methods of operating a linear actuator are also disclosed.
