            Abstract : 
In this paper, the design of a 5 × 5 digital electromagnetic actuators array is presented. Each elementary digital actuator has four discrete positions with two orthogonal displacement axes. This work is composed of two parts: first, the elementary digital actuator is defined using the experience of a previous study and secondly, the array is designed by taking into account the magnetic and electromagnetic interactions between the elementary actuators.
