Abstract

A locking system, in particular a locking system for aircraft landing gears. A space-saving, simple construction and little maintenance requirement of the locking system is achieved by at least one electromechanical drive unit, whose torque is transmitted to a drive shaft with a cam disk via axle-crossing transmitting. With the torque, the cam disk can move the locking system from the locked into the unlocked condition.
