Abstract
A linear actuator may include a stationary element a movable element a magnetic drive mechanism structured to linearly drive the movable element in a driving direction relative to the stationary element and a gel damper member provided between the stationary element and the movable element. The gel damper member may be held between a first part in the stationary element that faces in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction and a second part in the movable element that faces the first part in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction.
