1. An actuator unit for at least one of opening and closing a valve opening of a valve for a pneumatic adjusting device of a vehicle seat, comprising:
a circuit board, which has a top side which extends in a circuit board plane,
an actuating element, which has an actuating section for at least one of opening and closing the valve opening and a bending section connected to the actuating section, and
an actuator element, which has a first end which is mechanically connected to the actuating section and a second end which is mechanically connected to the circuit board, wherein the actuator element is configured to, when actuated, bend the bending section such that the actuating section is moved between a first position for opening the valve opening and a second position for closing the valve opening,
wherein the actuating section is arranged on a first side with respect to the circuit board plane and the bending section is arranged on a second side, situated opposite the first side, with respect to the circuit board plane, and
wherein the actuating section has a flow guide section which guides a flow flowing out of the valve opening away from the actuator element.
