Abstract
A linear actuator comprising a housing with a proximal end and a distal end, and defining a central cavity extending axially; a piston tube at least partially positioned axially within the central cavity; a first elongated rotatable screw positioned axially within the central cavity; a first cylindrical nut mounted about the first elongated rotatable screw and configured to move axially as the first elongated rotatable screw rotates; a second elongated rotatable screw positioned axially within the central cavity; a second cylindrical nut mounted about the second elongated rotatable screw and configured to move axially within the central cavity as the second elongated rotatable screw rotates; and a spring positioned around the second elongated rotatable screw between the second cylindrical nut and the distal end of the housing, wherein the spring is configured to bias the second cylindrical nut away from the distal end of the housing.
