Abstract:
An actuator assembly includes a housing, an internal cavity within the housing configured to partially contain a pressurized fluid, a fluid inlet port connecting a first opening on an outer surface of the housing to the internal cavity, a fluid outlet port connecting a second opening on the outer surface of the housing to the internal cavity, and a pressure relief channel having a relief inlet and a relief outlet. The relief outlet is in fluid communication with the internal cavity and a distance between the fluid inlet port and the relief outlet is less than half a distance between the fluid inlet port and fluid outlet port.
