Figure 1 shows a sectional drawing of anactuator 100. Theactuator 100 comprises ahousing 101. Thehousing 101 may, for example, be made of plastic material. - A
front surface 107 of thehousing 101 comprises anopening 108. Aposition member 103 is fed through theopening 108 in thefront surface 107 of thehousing 101, such that alongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103 is oriented perpendicular to thefront surface 107 of thehousing 101. In the direction of thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103 theposition member 103 is partially located inside thehousing 101 and partially located outside thehousing 101. - The
position member 103 is rotationally symmetric with respect to thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103. Theposition member 103 may for example comprise a cylindrical shape. In any case, theposition member 103 is rotatable around thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103. - The position member may be made of a metal. The
position member 103 may, for example, be an armature of an electromagnet. - The
position member 103 is movable in the direction of thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103. Theposition member 103 can be moved farther into thehousing 101 or farther out of thehousing 101. Two discrete positions of theposition member 103 may be provided, one farther inside thehousing 101, one farther outside thehousing 101. Theposition member 103 may then be movable between the two discrete positions. - The
position member 103 is encircled by acoil spring 109. One end of thecoil spring 109 is connected to or supported by theposition member 103, the other end of thecoil spring 109 is connected to or supported by thehousing 101. Thecoil spring 109 may support moving theposition member 103 into thehousing 101 or out of thehousing 101. - An
outer end 105 of theposition member 103 may be connected to a movable component in order to move the movable component with theposition member 103. - An
upper surface 121 of thehousing 101 comprises a common edge with thefront surface 107 of thehousing 101. Near this common edge anopening 122 is provided on theupper surface 121 of thehousing 101. Apin element 120 is fed through the opening 122 in theupper surface 121 of thehousing 101. Thepin element 120 may comprise the shape of a cuboid arranged in parallel with theposition member 103. Thepin element 120 may, for example, be made of a metal. Thepin element 120 may comprise a length such that thepin element 120 projects over theposition member 103. - On a side of the
housing 101 that is opposed to thefront surface 107, thehousing 101 comprises anelectrical connector 123. Theelectrical connector 123 may electrically connect theactuator 100 to an external device to provide theactuator 100 with electric energy and to control movements of theposition member 103 of theactuator 100. -
Figure 2 shows a sectional drawing of theactuator 100 where theactuator 100 is sliced on a plane that is parallel to thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103 and perpendicular to theupper surface 121 of thehousing 101. - The
housing 101 houses adrive mechanism 102. Thedrive mechanism 102 may be an electromagnet. In alternative embodiments, the drive mechanism may be a piezoelectric drive mechanism or another kind of drive mechanism. Thedrive mechanism 102 comprises a position member guiding 104. The position member guiding 104 houses theposition member 103 which may be an armature. Thedrive mechanism 102 is designed to move theposition member 103 in the position member guiding 104 along thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103. Thedrive mechanism 102 may drive theposition member 103 to a first position in which theposition member 103 protrudes farther out of thehousing 101 and to a second position in which theposition member 103 protrudes to a lesser extend out of thehousing 101.
Thehousing 101 further houses ayoke 110. Theyoke 110 may, for example, be made of a metal. Theyoke 110 comprises the shape of the letter U with afront section 111, alower section 112 and arear section 113. Thefront section 111 of theyoke 110 is arranged in parallel to thefront surface 107 of thehousing 101. Thelower section 112 of theyoke 110 is arranged in parallel to alower surface 124 of thehousing 101 that is opposed to theupper surface 121 of thehousing 101. - The
yoke 110 embraces thedrive mechanism 102 between thefront section 111 and therear section 113 of theyoke 110. Theyoke 110 may guide a magnetic field of thedrive mechanism 102. - The
front section 111 of theyoke 110 comprises anopening 114 that is arranged next to theopening 108 of thefront surface 107 of thehousing 101 such that theopening 108 and theopening 114 provide a common opening. Theposition member 103 is fed through theopening 108 in thefront surface 107 of thehousing 101 and theopening 114 on thefront section 111 of theyoke 110. - The
pin element 120 is connected to thefront section 111 of theyoke 110. To this end, thefront section 111 of theyoke 110 extends through theopening 122 on theupper surface 121 of thehousing 101 to form thepin element 120. Outside thehousing 101 thepin element 120 extends in parallel to theposition member 103. Thepin element 120 is made of the same material as theyoke 110. An advantage of this embodiment is that only one member is necessary to form theyoke 110 and thepin element 120. - The
outer end 105 of theposition member 103 is connected to amovable component 106. Theouter end 105 of theposition member 103 may comprise a smaller diameter than the rest of theposition member 103. Themovable component 106 may be clipped onto theouter end 105 of theposition member 103. Theposition member 103 may be used to move themovable component 106. - The
position member 103 is rotatable around thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103. Since themovable component 106 is connected to theposition member 103, a rotation of theposition member 103 leads to a rotation of themovable component 106 around thelongitudinal axis 130 of theposition member 103 as well. Themovable component 106 may also be rotatable around theposition member 103. - The
pin element 120 is provided to prevent a rotation of themovable component 106 and/or theposition member 103. Thepin element 120 rests against themovable component 106. Since thepin element 120 is fixed on theactuator 100, thepin element 120 resting against themovable component 106 prevents a rotation of themovable component 106. - The
pin element 120 may, for example, rest against a flat surface of themovable component 106. This may have the advantage of low friction between thepin element 120 and themovable component 106. Thepin element 120 may as well be bound in a recess of themovable component 106. This may provide a higher friction between thepin element 120 and themovable component 106 but may allow for a better suppression of a rotation of themovable component 106. Thepin element 120 may as well be fed through an opening of themovable component 106. This may suppress a rotation of themovable component 106 even better. -

figure 3 , thepin element 120 comprises a cross-section having the shape of the letter T. This may stabilize thepin element 120 against a bending or skewing thepin element 120. - The
pin element 120 offigure 3 may, for example, be made of a plastic material. Thepin element 120 may, for example, be made of the same material as thehousing 101 of theactuator 100. This is depicted in the sectional drawing offigure 4 .
