Patent number: 11271465Abstract: In the actuator, the viscoelastic members are arranged at positions at which the support body and the movable body face each other in the first direction, and the magnetic drive circuit drives the movable body in the second direction which crosses the first direction. The viscoelastic members connect the movable body and the support body together while having the thickness direction thereof in the first direction and extending in the second direction. Therefore, resonance caused when the movable body is vibrated can be restricted. Reproducibility of vibration acceleration corresponding to the input signals can be improved by utilizing the spring elements of the viscoelastic members in the shearing direction, thus enabling the actuator to vibrate with delicate nuances. Further, the viscoelastic members can be prevented from being pressed in the thickness direction and greatly deformed, therefore, preventing the gap between the movable body and the support body from greatly varying.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: NIDEC SANKYO CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Kitahara, Tadashi Takeda, Masao Tsuchihashi
