ABSTRACT:
A flight control surface actuator includes a mechanism that enables the actuator translation member to be selectively decoupled from the actuator rotating member. The actuator includes an actuation member, a translation member, an extension member, and a locking member. The actuation member is adapted to receive a drive force and is configured, in response to the drive force, to rotate and cause the translation member to translate. The extension member surrounds at least a portion of the translation member and is configured to be selectively coupled to, and decoupled from, the translation member. The locking member surrounds at least a portion of the extension tube and is movable between a lock position, in which the locking member couples the extension member to the translation member, and a release position, in which the locking member decouples the extension member from the translation member.
