Abstract

Electromagnetic actuator comprising a stationary stator (I) with a central pole (3) of length X.sub.c and two lateral poles (4,5) of length X.sub.L, said stator including an exciting coil (6). The actuator further comprises a moving part (2) with thin permanent magnets (12,13,22,23) magnetized in the direction of the air gap. It is characterized in that the moving member (2) consists of at least two independent elements (10,20) each movable in the parallel directions to the intersection of the air gap plane and the stationary stator median plane (1), in opposite directions. Each of the moving parts (10,29) has a pair of thin magnets (12,13,22,23) magnetized in alternate directions, integral with a yoke (11,21) of soft material. The thin magnets (22,23) of one of the moving elements (20) are magnetized in the opposite direction to the corresponding thin magnets (12,13) of the adjacent moving element (10), the yokes (11,21) defining with the stationary stator part the air gap (E).
