An electromechanical rotary actuator includes a drive member, a motor disposed inside and directly coupled to the drive member, and an output arm. The motor has a rotor configured toward an outside of the motor and directly coupled to an input of the drive member and a stator configured toward an inside of the motor and positioned inside the rotor. The output arm is disposed about the motor and is drivably connected to the drive member. The output arm defines an arcuate opening.
