Abstract
A self-locking nut and screw assembly may include a screw and a first nut rotatable and linearly translatable with respect to each other. The assembly may also include a first motor configured to provide torque to one of the screw and the first nut. The assembly may further include a locking mechanism configured to lock the screw to prevent backdrive when the motor is not providing torque to the one of the screw and the first nut.
