Abstract
There is provided a method of assembling a torque motor. The method comprises fastening the torque motor to a support such that any magnetic elements of the torque motor are substantially fixed in position with respect to the support, but without securing an armature to the torque motor, locating the armature of the torque motor around a fixed element of the torque motor such that the armature is able to move with respect to the fixed element, moving the armature with respect to the fixed element whilst the magnetic elements of the torque motor are substantially fixed in position with respect to the support, so as to position the armature in an in use orientation or position, and then attaching the armature to the fixed element in the in use orientation or position.
