In precision mechanical actuators, wherein a high precision stepping motor can notably be used in the actuating mechanisms of artificial satellites, a stepping motor comprises two rotors that rotate in opposite directions to generate a low-amplitude movement between one of the rotors and a stator. The first rotor comprises a first set of teeth distributed at a first pitch p1 and a second set of teeth distributed at a second pitch p2. The stator comprises N stator contacts comprising a plurality a of teeth distributed at the pitch p1, distributed at a third pitch equal to p1(a+1/N), and able to cooperate with the teeth of the first set. The second rotor comprises N rotor contacts comprising a plurality b of teeth distributed at the pitch p2, distributed at a fourth pitch equal to p1(b+1/N), and able to cooperate with the teeth of the second set of the first rotor.
