    Abstract: An actuator synchronization system comprising a control valve in fluid communication with a plurality of actuators; each of the actuators comprising an input member moveable by the control valve, a main valve moveable from a null to an off-null position, an output member moveable from a first to a second output position, and a feedback linkage and a drive link configured such that selective movement of the input member causes movement of the valve from the null to the off-null position and movement of the output member to the second output position causes movement of the valve member from the off-null to the null position; and a mechanical connector between each of the input members or drive links of the actuators configured such that rotational motion of each of the respective drive links is synchronized.

    Abstract: An actuator system comprising a shared link arranged to pivot about a first axis relative to a reference structure, a controlled element arranged to pivot about a second axis relative to the reference structure, a first member arranged to pivot about a third axis relative to the shared link and a fourth axis relative to the controlled member, a first actuator arranged to control a first variable distance between the third axis and fourth axis, a second member arranged to pivot about a fifth axis relative to the shared link and a sixth axis relative to the controlled element, a second actuator arranged to control a second variable distance between the fifth axis and the sixth axis, the system configured such that a change in the first variable distance causes rotation of the controlled element about the second axis when the second variable distance is constant and vice versa.
