An actuator assembly comprising an output member rotatable about a center axis relative to a structure, a first actuator having a first stator fixed to the structure and a first rotor rotatable about the center axis relative to the first stator, a second actuator having a second stator coupled to the first rotor such that the second stator rotates about the center axis relative to the first stator with rotation of the first rotor about the center axis and having a second rotor rotationally coupled to the output member, a controller configured in a failure mode to drive one of the first actuator or the second actuator to selectively control the rotation of the output member about the center axis with an operational failure of the other of the first actuator or the second actuator.

A rotating body for a rotation restricting mechanism rotates integrally with a motor, and the rotation of the rotating body is restrictable by engagement with an engaging pin. The rotating body includes a plurality of radial-support parts that extend in a radial direction, with the inner end portions thereof connected to the motor, a plurality of first-circumferential-connecting parts each connecting the inner end portions of two mutually-adjacent radial-support parts, a plurality of second-circumferential-connecting parts each connecting the outer end portions of two mutually-adjacent radial-support parts, and a plurality of engaging protrusions provided in the outer end portions of the radial-support parts. Two mutually-adjacent engaging protrusions in the circumferential direction have an interval therebetween that allows movement of the engaging pin in the circumferential direction between the two mutually-adjacent engaging protrusions.
