  • Publication number: 20240126142
    Abstract: A camera actuator comprises: a housing; a driving unit which is loaded in the housing, and which includes a vibration generator generating vibration from an input power source and a shaft vibrating in a first direction by means of the vibration generated by the vibration generator; an optical unit, which implements zoom and auto focusing while being driven in the first direction in the housing by means of the vibration of the shaft; and a frictional movement unit for connecting the shaft and the optical unit to transfer the first directional vibration of the shaft to the optical unit.

  • Publication number: 20220317412
    Abstract: An actuator for driving zoom includes a first carrier, wherein the first carrier includes a first mounter and a first lens assembly is mounted on the first mounter, a first supporting part provided on a first side of the first mounter and extending in a first direction, and a first guider provided on a second side of the first mounter and extending in the first direction. A second carrier includes a second mounter, wherein a second lens assembly is mounted on the second mounter, a second supporting part provided on a first side of the second mounter and extending in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a second guider provided on a second side of the second mounter and extending in the second direction. A first passage provided between the first mounter and the first supporting part and the second guider is inserted into the first passage.
