Well it has a hinge on it so I'm guessing some type of Armature of some sort

[AJ Quick]

Yeah.. looks like an arm of sorts, you can definitly see how it folds up and everything. But its main purpose, who knows.

Well... that looks like a globe motor. Aparently no reduction on first chain-sprocket stage. Looks like 2:1-ish reduction on second stage. So, your max torque at the hinge should be about 25ft-lbs. That's not a lot. So, the output section of this thing must be light and not intended to do any real muscle work.

But I am intrigued by the apparent lack of any kind of feedback (potentiometer or otherwise) on this articulated joint.

I can only guess that this thing has been designed to simply unfold. Perhaps this is a ramp blocker device. Can't wait to find out for sure.
