ABSTRACT:
An actuator assembly includes a first actuator arm and a second actuator arm, each having a first end and a second end, a support member, and a bearing assembly coupled to the arms and the support member, and supporting the arms and support member for rotation about an axis. The bearing assembly has a first portion abutting the first actuator arm and second portion abutting the second actuator arm, with the first and second arms being secured against movement away from each other by the bearing cartridge. Also provided is a retainer for preventing rotation of the first actuator arm about said axis relative to the second arm. The retainer may comprise first and second fasteners provided at opposite sides of the axis. In an alternative embodiment, the retainer comprises a leaf spring having a notch provided therein on the first and second actuator arms, and a fastener member provided on the support member.
