The invention provides a by-pass valve actuator of a turbocharger, which comprises an actuator case (1), a membrane sheet (2), an inner piston case (3), an inner piston (4), an actuating push rod (5), an inner piston upper spring (6) and an inner piston lower spring (7), wherein the inner piston (4) and the inner piston upper spring (6) are arranged in the inner piston case (3), the inner piston (4), the inner piston upper spring (6) and the inner piston lower spring (7) are all sheathed and arranged on the actuating push rod (5), the inner piston (4) is positioned between the inner piston upper spring (6) and the inner piston lower spring (7), and the elasticity of the inner piston upper spring (6) is smaller than that of the inner piston lower spring (7). The by-pass valve actuator has good control precision on the pressure, and has sensitive responsivity, and in addition, the structure is simple and reliable.
