Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, a method for controlling an anti-vibration actuator is provided such that the position of the applied opposite rotation in a gyro stabilization process can be measured using capacitance sensing. In some embodiments, a rotor plate attached to a rotor and a stator plate attached to a stator can be used to create a capacitance. When the rotor moves, a distance change value of the rotor can be calculated based on the capacitance measured between the rotor plate and the stator plate. In these embodiments, the cost and the form factor of the aforementioned anti-vibration actuator are reduced compared to implementation of magnetic field sensors in the anti-vibration actuator.

Abstract: Embodiments provide controlling an actuator such that inaccurate actuator control caused by the heat created when the actuator moves can be compensated. In some embodiments, a temperature sensor is implemented in an actuator controller outside of the actuator, and the temperature sensor is connected to the actuator through heat conductive materials. In these embodiments, the cost and the form factor of the aforementioned actuator is reduced compared to implementation of temperature sensors within the actuator.
