Abstract
A ferromagnetic actuator having, in a housing, a ferromagnetic circuit defining an axial travel interval for an armature (22) of ferromagnetic material for axially driving a rod between two extreme positions in which the armature bears against poles of the ferromagnetic circuit, resilient return means provided to hold the valve at rest in a middle position between the extreme positions, and at least one coil carried by the circuit and enabling the armature to be brought in alternation into both positions. The rod carries a radially-magnetized bar of length not less than the travel distance of the armature, and the housing carries at least one magnetic flux sensor placed in a zone having low exposure to the field created by the coil(s).
