Abstract

An actuator (12) comprises an actuator body (20) mounted for movement over a range of motion, the range of motion comprising a first part and a second part, the first part being the range of motion extending between an end position and the second part. The actuator (12) comprises a motor (14) coupled to the actuator body (20) to move the actuator body (20) in the first direction and a controller (28) configured to control the supply of current to drive the motor (14). The mechanical resistance to movement of the actuator body (20) in the first direction is higher in the first part of the range of motion than in the second part of the range of motion. The controller (28) is configured such that any additional current supplied to the motor (14) when the actuator body (20) is in the first part of the range of motion is limited thereby causing the speed of the actuator body (20) to reduce as the actuator body (20) approaches the end position.
