Abstract
An actuator (), for a printhead, wherein the actuator () comprises: an actuating element () an obturator assembly (), engageable with the actuator element (); wherein the actuating element () is operable to assume, depending on a drive signal applied thereto: a rest configuration, in which the obturator assembly () is at a first distance (X) from a reference plane (A); a first deformed configuration, in which the obturator assembly () is at a second distance (X) from the reference plane (A) greater than the first distance (X), and a second deformed configuration, in which the obturator assembly () is in contact with the reference plane (A), wherein: a control module () is configured for regulating a drive signal to the actuating element () to cause the obturator assembly () to move between the rest configuration and the first deformed configuration during a first operating cycle, to reduce the effects of impact on the obturator assembly.
