Zusammenfassung: | A downhole actuator 10 is described which comprises a permanent magnet 40 movable under the influence of a magnetic field generated, in use, by an electrical circuit, the permanent magnet 40 occupying a selected one of a plurality of stable positions when the electrical circuit is not energised. The actuator may be used to actuate bias means in a downhole steering device (fig 4). Movement of the permanent magnet 40 may also be used to generate electricity. |
