Abstract
There is provided an actuator which includes: a stator assembly including a pair of stator yokes, and a coil disposed between the pair of stator yokes; a rotor unit including a magnet at its outer circumference and disposed inside the stator assembly; an output shaft disposed inside the rotor unit; a housing; a front plate disposed between the stator assembly and the housing; a printed board having a land portion leading to a grounding wire; and a grounding terminal having electrical conductivity and elasticity and disposed between the stator assembly and the housing. One end portion of the grounding terminal makes contact with one of the pair of stator yokes, and the other end portion thereof makes connection to the land portion of the printed board, whereby static electricity and electromagnetic noises generated in the stator assembly are conducted to the grounding wire.
