Abstract
A linear actuator includes a planetary gear system includes a sun gear, a ring gear, and a planet carrier. A linear output mechanism is coupled to the planetary gear system. A first motor is configured to drive a first input shaft, and the first input shaft is coupled to the planet carrier. A second motor is configured to drive a second input shaft, and the second input shaft is coupled to the ring gear. A first brake is coupled to the first motor and is configured to be engaged into a braked position that holds the planet carrier fixed. In the braked position, rotation of the ring gear results in rotation of the sun gear for linear displacement of the linear output mechanism.
