ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATOR AND OPTICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH ACTUATOR

An electromagnetic actuator (1) configured to generate movement of at least one optical module (2), said electromagnetic actuator (1) comprising a magnet (3) arranged in nesting configuration with an electromagnetic coil (4) in a first plane (P1). The magnet (3) is configured to pivot around a pivot axis (A1) extending in said first plane (P1). Manipulating the electrical current in said electromagnetic coil (4) generates a pivoting movement of said magnet (3) around said pivot axis (A1). A connecting element (5) is configured to interconnect said magnet (3) and said optical module (2), and to convert said pivoting movement of said magnet (3) to said movement of said optical module (2). The magnet (3) may be pivoted at a pivot angle 0°
