Abstract

See full text

In various embodiments, a drive system with a motor rotary actuator driven linkage and an override system is provided. The override system may be a manually actuated override system that, in response to a power loss or outage, is configured to disengage one or more links of drive system 100 from the electric motor rotary actuator, allowing the disengaged link to be moved and/or repositioned. Moreover, drive system 100 and, more specifically, the override system may be configured to restore normal operation to the disengaged link in response to power being restored (i.e., by reengaging the link).
