Bistable electromagnetic actuator and aircraft brake valve provided with such an actuator

Abstract

The invention provides a bistable electromagnetic actuator comprising a yoke extending in part around a pivot axis of the actuator, an excitation coil supported by the yoke in order to generate control magnetic flux, a rotor movable about the pivot axis of the actuator and suitable for being held stationary in two stable angular positions as a function of the magnetic flux generated by the coil, an actuator member coupled to the rotor in order to form an assembly that can be turned, and a manual control device including a drive shaft dynamically coupled to the rotor in such a manner that turning the drive shaft causes the rotor to turn.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
