Abstract
A linear actuator includes a housing, a piston rod having a longitudinal axis (A-A) and at least one locking arrangement. The piston rod is axially moveable in a first direction (D) relative to the housing to extend the piston rod and is axially moveable in a second direction (D) relative to the housing to retract the piston rod. The piston rod is rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the housing between an operational state and a locking state. Each locking arrangement includes a piston rod flange extending from the piston rod and a housing flange extending from the housing. When the piston rod is in the operational state, the or each housing flange does not overlap with the or each piston rod flange so as to allow axial movement of the piston rod in the first and second directions.
