1. A support arrangement for a linear electromagnetic actuator of a hydraulic cam phaser, the support arrangement comprising:
an actuator module including the linear electromagnetic actuator including an axially displaceable connecting rod; and
a support element configured to support the actuator module on a camshaft,
wherein the actuator module is connected to the support element by an electrical contact arrangement configured to actuate the linear electromagnetic actuator, and
wherein the electrical contact arrangement includes an elastic clamping element, wherein the elastic clamping element includes a first clamping arm configured to clamp and fix an actuator contact,
wherein the elastic clamping element includes a second clamping arm configured to clamp and fix the actuator contact,
wherein the second clamping arm is arranged opposite to the first clamping arm, and
wherein the first clamping arm, the second clamping arm and a third clamping arm is arranged at an angle between 0º and 80º or between 10º and 60º relative to a longitudinal axis of the elastic clamping element.
