3.1 Drive motor and spring return
The brushless DC motor allows for accurate speed control, torque supervision to
protect the actuator and dampers, and provides a reliable spring return function.
The spring return force is stored in a spring which returns the actuator to the zero
position in the case of power failure.
3.2 Rotary range and mechanical limitation
The illustration below shows the relationship between the inner and outer mechanical
limitation of the rotary range.
