Method for monitoring a blocking member, and electromehanical actuator

Method for monitoring a locking member (12) of an electromechanical actuator (1), the monitoring method comprising the steps of: - determining a representative value of a supply current of a motor (11) during an idle operating phase of the electromechanical actuator (1); - comparing the representative value of the supply current with a predetermined current threshold defined on the basis of nominal idle operating characteristics of the electromechanical actuator (1); - detecting accidental locking of the locking member (12) when the representative value of the supply current is greater than or equal to the predetermined current threshold. [0002] Electromechanical actuator (1) comprising a locking member (12) monitored by such a method.
