  • Publication number: 20090267423
    Abstract: An electromagnetic exciter that enables thickness reduction has a casing, a stator having an electromagnet and fixed in the casing, an oscillator having a permanent magnet, and an elastic support member that positions the oscillator in horizontally-opposed relation to the stator at a distance between them and that supports the oscillator oscillatably in a direction parallel to the stator. The elastic support member has a fixed portion fixed to the casing and a pair of arms extending from the fixed portion toward the stator along side surfaces of the oscillator to support the oscillator oscillatably. The oscillator is oscillated by an alternating magnetic field generated by application of an alternating voltage to the electromagnet of the stator.

  • Publication number: 20070291976
    Abstract: An electrodynamic exciter has a tubular frame, a magnetic circuit assembly, a voice coil, and first and second suspensions axially vibratably supporting the magnetic circuit assembly and the voice coil, respectively, in the frame. One end of the frame is secured to a diaphragm to form an air chamber between the second suspension and the diaphragm. The vibration of the voice coil is transmitted to the diaphragm from the second suspension through the frame and also from the second suspension through the air chamber. The air chamber functions as an air spring or an air damper. Thus, vibrations of the voice coil in the mid and high frequency audio range are efficiently transmitted to the diaphragm, and the sound pressure level of the diaphragm in the mid and high frequency audio range is increased.
