Abstract

Several motor (28) driven embodiments are discussed which provide linear motion to a downhole flow control device (46). The embodiments employ ball screw (110, 112, 114) assemblies or lead screw (24) assemblies. A device for rotational actuation of a downhole flow control device (60) is also disclosed.
