    .doc: """
Using this component in a mechanism provides a standardized interface that can be
replaced by any concrete linear-actuator connection inheriting from this model.
This enables flexible choice of actuator implementation without changing the
surrounding system.

Nomenclature:
For serial mechanisms without closed loops, the *ground* connection refers to the
part closer to the root of the kinematic chain, while the *drive* connection
refers to the part farther along the chain.

Example:
In an excavator arm, the linear actuator driving the stick has its ground
connection attached to the boom, and its drive connection attached to the stick.

Parameters:
    connector_1 : MateConnector
        The connector on the mechanism to which the actuator’s grounded end is
        attached.
    connector_2 : MateConnector
        The connector on the mechanism to which the actuator’s driving end is
        attached.
