A vane actuator for use in a turbine engine, comprising a carrier member carrying a plurality of vanes which is angularly movable, in use, so as to vary the position of the vanes relative to an airflow through the engine. The actuator includes an electrical drive arrangement comprising an input shaft which is arranged to drive an output shaft coupled to the carrier member. The electrical drive arrangement includes a brake arrangement arranged to apply a braking load to the input shaft in the event that an interruption occurs in the electrical drive arrangement.
