Abstract
A magnetic actuator, for example a magnetic bearing, embodies a fixed part and a mobile part. These parts are ferromagnetic and form an airgap between them extending parallel to a predetermined first direction. The magnetic actuator further embodies a nonmagnetic wall interposed in the airgap. The wall is that of a confinement chamber, for example. In this magnetic actuator one of the fixed and mobile parts embodies fingers penetrating the nonmagnetic wall and directed towards the other of the fixed and mobile parts.
