Abstract
An actuator and movement linkage system for moving a load, such as a control surface of aircraft, in relation to a carrying structure includes an electric motor system, an actuator device connectable or connected to the load to move the load, the actuator device connected to the electric motor system to be driven thereby, and transfer units provided for mechanically connecting the actuator device to move the load. Fault tolerant and release devices are provided both in the electrical motor system and in the actuator device to make the actuator and movement linkage system fault tolerant to at least single faults in the actuator and movement linkage system,
