Claim 0:
1. An actuator for moving a control surface, the actuator comprising:
an actuator housing;
a rotating assembly mounted in the actuator housing having a driven component that is rotatably drivable about a longitudinal axis; and
a load detent assembly including an engagement member coupled to the driven component of the rotating assembly for common rotation through at least 360 degrees of rotation in either direction of rotation, and a load detent supported with respect to the actuator housing for movement relative to the longitudinal axis between a releasing position released from the engagement member and an engaging position interengaged with the engagement member by a biasing force for restricting rotation of the driven component of the rotating assembly relative to the actuator housing;
an actuator when activated for moving load detent from the engaging position to the releasing position, and
wherein the load detent is configured to be selectively movable against the biasing force by the actuator from the engaging position to the releasing position.
