A locking linkage system (200) may comprise a lockable assembly (211) comprising an upper brace (202), a lower brace (204) coupled to the upper brace (202), and a linkage coupled to the upper brace (202) and the lower brace (204). The locking linkage system (200) may further comprise a downlock actuator (212) comprising an electric motor (214) coupled to the upper brace (202), a rotary output shaft (215) coupled to the electric motor (214), a connecting output shaft (218) coupled to the rotary output shaft (215), wherein the connecting output shaft (218) is configured to rotate between a fixed locked position and a fixed unlocked position, and a link rod (220) having a distal end coupled to the linkage and a proximal end comprising a lost-motion joint, the lost-motion joint being coupled to a connection pin of connecting output shaft (218). The downlock actuator (212) may be configured to toggle the linkage, the upper brace (202), and the lower brace (204) between an unlocked position and a locked position.
