Abstract
A positioning actuator with three axes includes a base having a movable supporting member and a device for moving the member up and down, and a shaft connecting the movable head of the actuator to the base. The connecting shaft forms a swivel-type double linkage enabling sideways movement of the head relative to the base, and the lower end of the connecting shaft engages a part made of elastomeric material and is provided within the movable supporting member.
