An active grille system having a linear actuation mechanism. The active grille system has vanes connected to a link arm. The vanes rotate between an open position and a closed position using force transmitted by the link arm. Connected to the frame is an actuator that has a mover that provides force to a linear actuation mechanism that is connected to the link arm. Linvention porte sur un système de grille active muni dun mécanisme dactionnement linéaire. Le système de grille active est doté daubes reliées à un bras de liaison. Les aubes passent dune position ouverte à une position fermée au moyen dune force transmise par le bras de liaison. Est raccordé au châssis un actionneur muni dun entraînement alimentant en force un mécanisme dactionnement linéaire qui est relié à un bras de liaison.
