Abstract
The disclosure provides a downhole anchoring apparatus for use in a downhole tool. An example downhole anchoring apparatus may include a housing with a hub provided within the housing. The hub may be arranged to rotate in a bidirectional fashion about a longitudinal axis. The downhole anchoring apparatus may also include a deployment linkage. The deployment linkage may be coupled to the hub by a hinge so that when the hub is rotated in a first direction, a distal end of the deployment linkage is extended radially outward from the central axis, and when the hub is rotated in a second direction, the distal end of the deployment linkage is retracted toward the central axis.
