Analysis
During arrival at the destination arpt, the aircrew was unable to extend the landing gear by using either the normal or emergency systems. They elected to return to Anchorage where emergency equipment was available. Fuel was reduced & subsequently a wheels up landing was made on a foamed rwy. An exam revealed that the right gimbal ring/travel nut, p/n A7601A, had traveled beyond its normal distance & jammed against the collar on the electric actuator.
