摘要： A gear drive assembly is used in an actuator. The gear drive assembly includes a housing and a gear arrangement including a drive gear, a driven gear, and one of a first selected gear and a second selected gear engageable with both of the drive and driven gears. The drive and driven gears and the first selected gear have a first gear ratio. The drive and driven gears and the second selected gear have a second gear ratio not equal to the first gear ratio. The internal surface of the housing defines first and second gear retention features to facilitate selective rotatable coupling of the first and second selected gears with the housing, respectively. A method of manufacturing the gear drive assembly includes the steps of selecting one of the first and second selected gears, engaging it with the drive and driven gears, and coupling it with the housing.
