The invention relates to an actuator assembly 20 for a textile machine 22, wherein: the actuator assembly comprises a plurality n of spools 24 distributed along depth d; the actuator assembly comprises a plurality n+1 of magnetic plates 26 distributed along depth d; the magnetic plates and the spools are alternated along depth d such that each spool is received between two adjacent magnetic plates; each magnetic plate comprises an upper permanent magnet 28 and a lower permanent magnet 30 having opposed orientation; the upper permanent magnets of all the magnetic plates have the same orientation; the lower permanent magnets of all the magnetic plates have the same orientation; each spool is movable along height h between an upper position and a lower position and vice versa, wherein the upper position is comprised between the upper permanent magnets of the two adjacent magnetic plates and the lower position is comprised between the lower permanent magnets of the two adjacent magnetic plates; and each spool can be electrically powered in two opposed ways. The invention further relates to a textile machine comprising the actuator assembly.
