This actuator (10) has: a displacement unit (20) having a sealed fluid pouch (50) and a plurality of compression cells (40); and a controller (30). Each compression cell (40) has a moveable element, and a magnetic force generating unit for attracting the moveable element. The controller (30) produces a plurality of excitation patterns involving different numbers of excited compression cells (40).
