Abstract (en)

A fail-safe actuator having a drive unit for both driving the barrier to one, non-operative position and holding it there with respect to its aperture, a drive transmitter and a motive power device connected to the drive-unit drive transmitter for providing drive between it and a drive output shaft, and a retarder. The retarder having a drive transmitter, a retardation device switchable between two retardation states namely a high-torque, first state, which is selectable for driving of the barrier to the non-operative position and a low-torque second state, which is a fail safe state for deployment of the barrier to the operative position. The retarder also having a three element gear mechanism arranged between the drive output shaft and the retardation device, the mechanism having three elements geared one connected to the retarder drive transmitter, the second connected to the drive output shaft and the third connected to retardable member of the retardation device. <IMAGE>
