An aircraft includes an electromechanical actuator and a decoupling device. A form-fit between a drive element and a linkage point outside of the actuator element can be reversibly decoupled and recoupled. The decoupling device allows the actuator element to run freely in the event of a malfunction, which effectively prevents a jam.

Electromechanically controlled decoupling device for actuators

A reversible decoupling device is connected to an electromechanical actuator. The reversible decoupling device has an energy storage element configured to store the energy required for a decoupling in the decoupling device. The decoupling device can be re-coupled again after a completed test run so that the decoupling functionality can be easily tested.

Reversible decoupling device for actuators

A pneumatic decoupling device for an electromechanical actuator, in particular, for flight applications includes a pressure accumulator housing for storing a compressed gas, which can be released to a decoupling mechanism of an electromechanical actuator for separating the drive components, so that in the event of a decoupling the electromechanical actuator runs totally freely.
