Abstract: The improved actuator for rear-view mirrors includes a single pulling mechanism and a locking mechanism. The pulling mechanism includes a linear cylinder and a stop dispose next to a free end of the body of the linear cylinder. The locking mechanism has matching first and second locking elements, where at least one of the locking elements is integral with the pulling mechanism.

Abstract: The improved actuator for rear-view mirrors includes a single drag mechanism and a blocking mechanism. The drag mechanism comprises a linear cylinder and a stop disposed next to the free end of the body of said linear cylinder. The blocking mechanism has matching first and second blocking elements, wherein at least one of said elements is integral with the drag mechanism.

Abstract: The rear-view mirror for large vehicles is made up of a case which holds the mirror, articulated to a support which can be fixed to a side of the vehicle. Between the case and the support is a pneumatic cylinder made up of a cylindrical body with two air input apertures and a piston. The end of the cylindrical body is articulated to a point of the case conveniently distant from the support of the same, while the free end of the piston can be seen with a jointed extension inside of the case, the free end of which has an articulated fork at to the projection of the support.
