ABSTRACT:
A thrust reverser system actuator assembly is provided that includes a torque limiter to limit the number of torque that may be applied to the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly includes an actuator and a torque limiter assembly. The actuator is adapted to receive a drive force and is configured, in response to receipt of the drive force, to move between a stowed position and a deployed position. The torque limiter assembly is coupled to an end of the actuator and is configured to limit torque applied to the actuator assembly upon a torque magnitude being reached in at least the actuator.
