Abstract
The present invention concerns electromechanical actuators. More particularly, but not exclusively, this invention concerns actuators operable in multiple degrees of freedom. There is provided an actuator comprising a proof-mass and at least two coils arranged such that current flowing through the coil produces a force that acts on the proof-mass, the proof-mass being mounted for movement in at least two degrees of freedom, wherein one of the at least two degrees of freedom is a translational degree of freedom.
