ABSTRACT:
A fail-safe actuator of the type which permits cycling of a control member during normal operation without encumbrance from a return mechanism includes a link having a slot. A pin secured to a crankshaft coupled to the controlled member is slidably disposed within the slot. The slot permits rotation of the crankshaft within a range defined by the slot length. Upon system failure, a fluid pressure is moved to a predetermined position by a biasing spring to force the crankshaft to a fail-safe position.
