A device for holding and aligning a component includes a first and a second housing part and a tilting device. The first housing part is arranged on a first end for stationary arrangement on a carrier and the second housing part is arranged on a second end for connection to the useful component. The first end and the second end are on opposite sides of the device in relation to a longitudinal axis. The tilting device mechanically connects the first and the second housing parts to one another and enables a defined alignment and holding of the relative position of the second housing part in relation to the first housing part. The actuator of the tilting device is a number of wires made of a shape-memory alloy. A length of each of the number of wires is individually adjustable by a respective determination of the resistance, which can be processed as a control variable in a control loop.
