An object is to provide an electromagnetic actuator that is highly resistant to corrosion and also capable of having high suction power, even in a condition where part of the electromagnetic actuator touches a corrosive liquid. An electromagnetic actuatoraccording to this invention is incorporated into a device using a corrosive liquid. The electromagnetic actuatoris characterized by including a magnetic pole piece; an outer yoke; a bottom yoke; a bobbin coil; a stepped portionthat is formed on an outer surface of the outer yoke; a waterproof portionthat prevents the corrosive liquidfrom entering at least where the bobbin coiland the magnetic pole pieceare; a movable platethat is placed in the corrosive liquidto form a magnetic circuit together with the magnetic pole piece, the outer yoke, and the bottom yoke, The movable plateis stored in a spacecreated either in the electromagnetic actuatoror between the device using the corrosive liquidand the electromagnetic actuator. The outer yokeis incorporated into the device using the corrosive liquid, on a reduced diameter side from the stepped portion
