The object is to provide an actuator that moves in a shearing direction. An actuator comprises an internal actuator including a first stator and a first mover opposed to the first stator, the first mover moving in a direction away from the first stator; a second stator having a fixation wall that is disposed in a direction in which the first stator and the first mover are opposed to each other and that is disposed along a first mover side and away from the first mover, the second stator being fixed with the first stator; and a second mover having a pressing wall inserted between the first mover and the fixation wall.

Actuator

The object is to provide an actuator that consumes less power. An actuator comprises: a stator that rotatably supports a plurality of stator rollers; a mover that rotatably supports a mover roller disposed between the stator rollers; and a wire made of a shape memory alloy that is disposed between the stator rollers and the mover roller and has both ends connected to respective two stator terminals provided in the stator.

Actuator and actuator manufacturing method

The object is to provide a tactile sense provision apparatus that vibrates the finger or the like of the user through a touch panel to provide the user with a tactile sense when the touch panel is operated. A tactile sense provision apparatus comprises a transparent plate that covers a touch panel of equipment; an actuator that is fixed to the transparent plate; a reception unit that receives a signal transmitted based on operation through the touch panel; and a control unit that operates the actuator based on a signal received by the reception unit.
