Abstract

A locking mechanism for a rotary electric actuator for the formation of a shed on a loom wherein the actuator includes a driving rotor for rotating a device for winding and unwinding a harness thread and wherein the actuator includes a locking plate driven by the rotor which interacts with a locking member such that, when a stop of the locking member engages the locking plate, rotation of the rotor is stopped. A control mechanism is provided to selectively maneuver the locking member relative to the locking plate.
