Multi-actuator rotator assembly for pivoting base and rotating body
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11971087B2) discloses a multi-actuator rotator assembly designed for various applications. The assembly includes a base, a rotary link, and a rotating body, all capable of pivoting relative to the base. Two linear actuators are connected to different sides of the rotary link and the rotating body, allowing for controlled movement. The assembly is configured to pivot about a main shaft defined by a pivot shaft, providing a range of motion from extreme right to extreme left positions, with an angular distance of at least 200 degrees.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system incorporating the multi-actuator rotator assembly, coupled to a support structure and a supported assembly. The supported assembly, such as a conveyor system, is connected to the rotating body of the assembly, enabling precise positioning and movement. The system is particularly useful for handling granular materials, with the assembly capable of pivoting between positions by at least 200 degrees. The design allows for efficient and controlled movement in industrial settings, enhancing operational capabilities and flexibility.
