The present invention relates to an electromechanical actuator including an electric motor acting on a torque output element able to be coupled to a movable member of a vehicle gearbox. The torque output element is configured to rotate about its axis of rotation between a first extreme position and a second extreme position defining an actuation range. The torque output element is connected to the electric motor by drive means including a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel. The actuator further includes an electronic board which includes two sensors each facing a magnet associated with each gear wheel in order to detect the angular position of each gear wheel. The two gear wheels have a different number of teeth corresponding to the number of revolutions required for the torque output element to cover the actuation range.
