Abstract

See full text

A method of defining an end travel limit of an electric actuator includes sensing an electric current of the electric actuator while moving the electric actuator from a first position to a second position. A maximum travel current of the electric current sensed during movement of the electric actuator between the first position to the second position is increased by a factor to define a maximum calibration current. The electric current is then sensed while moving from the second position toward an end travel position of the electric actuator. Movement of the electric actuator is stopped at a fault position when the electric current equals the maximum calibration current. The end travel limit of the electric actuator is then defined as a function of the fault position.
