The invention relates to an actuator including handling-proof position feedback mechanism.The actuator includes a housing assembly (102), an actuator shaft (104), an actuation member (106), and an anti-rotation rod (202). The actuator shaft is rotationally mounted in the housing assembly, is adapted to receive a drive torque, and is configured, upon receipt of the drive torque, to rotate. The actuation member is mounted on the actuator shaft, and is configured to translate in response to rotation of the actuator shaft. The anti-rotation rod (202) is coupled to the actuator housing and extends therefrom. The anti-rotation is rod configured to at least selectively engage, and thereby prevent rotation of, the actuation member.
