Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator including a first object comprising at least one magnet; and a second object comprising at least one magnet. The first object and the second object are movable relative to each other. The first object is an oscillator and the second object is a stator, or the first object is a stator and the second object is an oscillator. The first object is essentially arranged inside the second object. The actuator comprises at least one first actuator side where magnets of the first object and the second object are arranged opposite each other and act upon each other. On the at least one actuator side an uneven number of poles of the one object are arranged opposite an even number of poles of the other object.

Abstract: An electromagnetic linear actuator, which comprises a first and a second element. One element is a magnetic oscillator with at least one magnet, and the other element is a magnetic stator with at least one magnet. The two elements are movable relatively linearly to one another and the magnetization directions of the oscillator and of the stator are parallel. Either the stator comprises two opposing identical stator poles or the oscillator comprises two opposing identical oscillator poles. Furthermore, a method for producing a mechanical movement by means of an actuator. Either magnetization of a stator of the actuator takes place such that the stator comprises two opposing identical stator poles, or magnetization of an oscillator of the actuator takes place such that the oscillator comprises two opposing identical oscillator poles.
