An electromechanical actuator for a movable flight control surface of an aircraft, the actuator comprising an electric motor having an outlet shaft with first and second directions of rotation, a movement transmission arranged to connect the outlet shaft of the motor to the movable flight control surface, and a control unit for controlling the motor. The transmission incorporates a pawl device arranged to oppose the transmission of movement in the first direction of rotation, and the control unit is connected to a pawl declutching member for declutching the pawl and enabling movement to be transmitted in the first direction of rotation.
An electromechanical actuator for a movable flight control surface of an aircraft, the actuator comprising an electric motor having an outlet shaft (20) with first and second directions of rotation, a movement transmission (1) arranged to connect the outlet shaft of the motor to the movable flight control surface, and a control unit (3) for controlling the motor, the actuator being characterized in that the transmission incorporates a pawl device (18) arranged to oppose the transmission of movement in the first direction of rotation, and in that the control unit is connected to a pawl declutching member (19) for declutching the pawl and enabling movement to he transmitted in the first direction of rotation.
An aircraft having wings, each provided with at least one movable airfoil surface of the aileron/elevon/spoiler type associated with at least one actuator according to any preceding claim, the actuator being mounted so that the pawl opposes a deflection movement of the airfoil surface.
