An actuation device () comprising a threaded shaft () connected at one end to driving means adapted to allow the threaded shaft () to rotate about its longitudinal axis (a). A movable element () is provided with a cylindrical cavity () adapted to receive the threaded shaft (), and configured so that a rotation of the threaded shaft () corresponds to a translation the movable element () along the longitudinal axis (a). The device () has two guiding rods (') coupled to the movable element () and adapted to constrain the translation of the latter along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (a). Element () comprises a first () and a second () element constrained to each other, wherein the first element () is coupled to the threaded shaft () and the second element () is coupled to the two guiding rods (&#x2032;).
