Abstract: To provide a motor in which a coil wire of a drive coil is prevented from breaking or being damaged. A motor includes: a motor case including an opening unit formed therein and housing a drive coil; a frame attached to the motor case; a substrate holding member fixed to the frame; and a power supply substrate held by the substrate holding member. In the motor, a coil wire of the drive coil is led out through the opening unit and is electrically connected to the power supply substrate.

Abstract: A drive device includes a drive part and a movable member structured to be moved by a drive force of the drive part. The movable member is provided with a main body part and a support part which supports a supported member, and the support part is formed of a material whose rigidity is higher than a rigidity of a material of the main body part and is partly embedded and fixed to the main body part.

Abstract: A drive device includes a drive part and a movable member structured to be moved by a drive force of the drive part. The movable member includes a main body part and a support part which supports a supported member. The support part includes an elastic support part which urges the supported member and a fixed support part which is provided so as to face the elastic support part in a moving direction of the movable member and supports the supported member urged by the elastic support part.

Abstract: A rotor for motor may include a rotation shaft, a permanent magnet structured in a tube-like shape and fixed to an outer peripheral side of the rotation shaft, and a sleeve which is structured in a tube-like shape, disposed between an outer peripheral face of the rotation shaft and an inner peripheral face of the permanent magnet, and press-fitted and fixed to the outer peripheral face of the rotation shaft. The sleeve is retreated from an end part of the permanent magnet on one side in an axial direction to the other side in the axial direction so that a first ring-shaped recessed part is formed between the rotation shaft and the permanent magnet and the rotation shaft and the permanent magnet are fixed to each other with a first adhesive in the first ring-shaped recessed part. The rotor may be applied to a motor, preferably to a stepping motor.

Abstract: A lens driving device includes a moving body having a lens and a drive magnet that is moveable with the lens in an optical axis direction of the lens, and a fixed body that moveably supports the moving body in the optical axis direction. The fixed body includes a first drive coil and a second drive coil that are disposed in the optical axis direction and form magnetic circuits with the drive magnet, and a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member that are disposed opposite the first drive coil and the second drive coil, respectively. The moving body is retained at a first position by magnetic attraction working between the drive magnet and the first magnetic member when energization of the first drive coil is stopped. The moving body is also retained at a second position by magnetic attraction working between the drive magnet and the second magnetic member when energization of the second drive coil is stopped.

Abstract: A lens drive device is provide which includes a movable lens body having a lens, a drive element for moving the movable lens body in an optical axis direction of the lens, and a fixing body which movably supports the movable lens body in the optical axis direction. The movable lens body has a lens-barrel provided with a lens and a lens-barrel holder which movably supports the lens-barrel in the optical axis direction. The lens-barrel holder is provided with a first magnetic element as the drive element. The fixing body has a second magnetic element as the drive element and a regulating part which regulates a moving range in the optical axis direction of the lens-barrel holder. The movable lens body is moved by a magnetic attractive force or a magnetic repulsive force between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element.

Abstract: An optical switch device for driving a movable member mounting a light reflection member thereon by a magnetic drive circuit, wherein, in an optical waveguide switching device (1) as an optical switch device, a movable member (2) mounting thereon an optical waveguide switching prism mirror (2) is driven in an X direction by a magnetic drive circuit while being floated from a fixing-side member (13) in order to improve stability of a light outputting position. When the movable member (2) is moved to a desired position in the X direction, power supply to solenoids (45, 46) is stopped in a clamp mechanism (40), and a clamp plate (41) presses the movable member (2) against the fixing-side member (13) to fix it. A V-groove (30) formed in the movable member (2) and a V-groove (31) formed in the fixing-side member (13) mesh each other to position the movable member (2) in the X direction.

Abstract: A lens driving device includes a moving body equipped with a lens and a driving magnet attached to the lens, and a fixed body that is equipped with a driving coil that forms together with the driving magnet a magnetic circuit and moves the moving body in an optical axis direction of the lens between a first lens retaining position and a second lens retaining position, and at least one magnetic member disposed adjacent to at least one of two end sections in the optical axis direction of the driving magnet. The moving body is retained at the first lens retaining position by magnetic attraction caused by the driving magnet and the magnetic member when energization of the driving coil is stopped. Accordingly, the driving coil does not need to be energized while the lens is retained at the first lens retaining position.
