Abstract
Electromechanical translation apparatus provides power-off clamping because each clamp assembly comprises pressure means and clamp actuator means acting in opposition. The pressure means is arranged, when the actuator is de-energized, to apply clamping force to releasably clamp the associated movable member to the clamp assembly. The clamp actuator means is arranged, when energized, to act against the pressure means to release the movable member.
