A Thermal actuation device has at least a heat expandable or deformable material, a heater, a power supply for the heating, a thruster capable of movement following expansion or distortion of a material, so as to perform a substantially predetermined stroke having a length from a first to a second position, at least an actuation element linearly following the action of the thruster so as to move with respect to a fixed structure from a first to a second position, and a resilient device able to return the thruster and/or actuation element respective first positions. A motion multiplyer actuated by the thrusting means is further provided for obtaining a stroke of the actuation element longer than the stroke of the thruster.
