Abstract

An actuator () comprising: an actuating element (); a first mounting () and a second mounting (), configured for allowing the actuating element () to be positioned on a reference plane (P); characterized in that: the first mounting () is operable to allow the actuating element () to move in a direction (X) substantially parallel to the reference plane (P) and to allow a portion of a first end of the actuating element () to rotate about a first axis of rotation (T) substantially perpendicular to (X), thereby minimising wear between the actuating element () and the first mounting () during actuation.
