An actuator includes: a coil; a permanent magnet rotor secured to and rotatably supported by an output shaft inside the coil; a bobbin made of a non-magnetic material and around which the coil is wound; a first stator inserted into and secured to the bobbin in one direction, and including an inner magnetic pole portion and an outer magnetic pole portion extending inside and outside the coil in an axial direction of the rotor, respectively; and a second stator inserted into and secured to the bobbin in a direction opposite to the one direction, and including an inner magnetic pole portion and an outer magnetic pole portion extending inside and outside the coil in the axial direction of the rotor, respectively.
