Actuator

The device (10) has a drive element (12) that is rotationally movable, and coupling parts for translational movement of an actuating element i.e. valve (14). The valve is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis perpendicular to a plane defined by main direction of movement of the valve and an axis of rotation of the drive element. A pivoting device (18) includes a cylindrical bearing pin (20) whose central axis is parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive element, where a sleeve (22) is arranged and secured against axial displacement on the bearing pin.
