To provide an improved actuator simple and easy to manufacture.
The actuator has a rotatable input member coupled to a drive member such that rotation of the input member under an input load causes rotation of the drive member around a first axis. The drive member is coupled to a driven member such that rotation of the drive member causes rotation of the driven member around a second axis. A coupled part between the drive member and the driven member is arranged to provide a rotational reduction from the drive member to the driven member. The driven member is arranged for connection to a wire of a Bowden cable such that rotation of the driven member causes extension or retraction of the cable. A braking means exerts a braking load on a braking surface of the actuator. The braking means is arranged for cooperation with the drive member, and the drive member cooperates with the braking means when a backdriving load is exerted through the Bowden cable wire to the driven member, tending to cause the driven member to rotate the drive member.
