Actuator

An actuator comprising:

• an actuator housing having an inside surface defining a stator-receiving portion, the stator-receiving portion comprising a rotor support element, and a plurality of stator-abutment projections which are spaced-apart about the rotor support element, the plurality of stator-abutment projections being integrally formed with the inside surface;
• and
• a stator having a plurality of locator recesses which are abuttably engagable with the plurality of stator-abutment projections when the stator is received at the stator-receiving portion of the actuator housing to locate the stator relative to the actuator housing,
• each said stator-abutment projection comprises a central support and a locator head extending laterally from the central support, and a rotor-facing surface of each the locator heads towards the rotor support element, and the rotor-facing surface of each locator head contacts a rotor-proximate inner surface of the locator recess when the stator is received at the stator-receiving portion.
