An actuator (1), having at least one electrically conductive coil (2) which has a longitudinal axis (L) and a plurality of turns, and at least one magnet (8) which is arranged at a distance from the turns of the coil (2) in the radial direction (R) in relation to the longitudinal axis (L), wherein the at least one coil (2) is at least partially covered by a central region of a first conducting element (4) on a side which is averted from the magnet (8), and the at least one magnet (8) is at least partially covered by a central region of a second conducting element (10) on a side which is averted from the turns of the at least one coil (2), wherein the first conducting element (4) projects beyond the at least one coil (2) and the second conducting element (10) projects beyond the at least one magnet (8) in the axial direction in relation to the longitudinal axis (L) and there each have collar-like projections (6, 7), is distinguished in that the at least one coil (2) has at least a first turn region (2a) and a second turn region (2b).
