Abstract

An electromagnetic actuator includes a fixed body, a moving part forming a magnetic core of the actuator and being movable in translation with respect to the fixed body between a retracted position and a deployed position, a magnetic piece forming a permanent magnet adjusted to generate a first magnetic force holding the moving part in the retracted position, and a coil adjusted to engender a second magnetic force opposed to the first magnetic force when the coil is supplied with an electrical excitation current. The moving part includes one or more notches formed in a body of the moving part.
