An actuator unit includes first and second link mechanisms. The first link mechanism has first and second arms that extend in first and second directions when viewed in a direction parallel to an axis of rotation. The first arm is connected at a first connection point to a power source for powering the first link mechanism. The second arm is connected at a second connection point to the second link mechanism. The second link mechanism is connected at a third connection point to a locking collar. The locking collar is configured to reciprocate as the first link mechanism rotates in a reciprocating manner. The distance from the first connection point to the axis of rotation is greater than the distance from the second connection point to the axis of rotation.
