ABSTRACT:
A remote actuator for an automobile power door lock application has a housing, a first gear reduction stage in a first tier in the housing, a second gear reduction stage in a second tier in the housing, a reversible pancake-type electric motor in the second tier in the housing operative to drive the second gear means through the first gears with two stages of gear reduction between respective ones of a pair of parked positions, a linear actuator in the housing in a third tier thereof movable in extending and retracting directions between positively defined limits, and a rotary detent clutch between the second gear means and the linear actuator operative to move the latter in the one of the extending and retracting directions corresponding to the direction of rotation of the second gear means and to release the linear actuator at either of the limits thereby to permit overdrive of the second gear means to the corresponding one of the parked positions.
