Abstract: A load balancing mechanism for controlling concurrent operation of a pair of latches of a vehicle via a respective pair of links connecting the pair of latches to an actuator, the actuator for sharing by the pair of latches, the load balancing mechanism comprising: a housing for connecting to a body of the vehicle; a lever mounted to the housing at a pivot such that the lever is pivotable about the pivot; an actuator mounting point on the lever connecting the lever to the actuator, the actuator for rotating the lever about the pivot; and a load balancing element mounted on the lever at an axis and rotatable about the axis, such that each of the respective pair of links is positioned on opposite sides of the axis, said each of the respective pair of links for coupling to a corresponding one of the pair of latches; wherein operation of the actuator causes both rotation of lever about the pivot and rotation of the load balancing element about the axis while the pair of latches are operated concurrently. A power cinch system and a power release system can be included.

Abstract: A powered actuator includes a leadscrew as an extensible member connected to a closure, such as a vehicle side door and is configured to move linearly for opening or closing the closure. The first powered actuator also includes a gearbox configured apply a force to the extensible member for causing the extensible member to move linearly. An adapter is configured to mount the gearbox to the vehicle body. The adapter allows the powered actuator to replace a non-powered door check device. The adapter also allows some relative rotation between the gearbox and the vehicle body for fitment of the powered actuator. An electromagnetic (EM) brake is coupled to the gearbox on an opposite side from the electric motor. A high-resolution position sensor is coupled to a driven shaft to measure a position of the actuator, the position sensor is spaced apart from the EM brake to prevent electromagnetic interference therefrom.
