Abstract

An improved actuator arrangement for operating a driven element with different actuators. The actuator arrangement comprises a first actuator that drives a driven element in a first direction via a first output member and a second actuator that drives the driven element in a second direction opposite to the first direction via a second output member. The first and second actuators are configured to work in a counter-acting manner to move the driven element in the first and second directions. An additional connecting and supporting device is connected between the first and second output members to support the output members to bear transversal forces transversal to the moving direction and/or to bear pre-load force for pre-loading the actuators.
