Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrically controllable pivoting mirror device for an optical video-disc player, which pivoting mirror device comprises a frame as well as a mirror which with the aid of a plastics bearing with a height of less than 3 mm is fixed to a bearing support. The elastic bearing is first manufactued as a finished part and it is not until after this that it is connected to the pivoting mirror and, as the case may be, to the bearing support. In accordance with a suitable embodiment of the method the bearing is manufactured from chloroprene rubber with the aid of a molding process and is connected to the bearing support during the molding process.

Abstract: An electrically controllable pivoting mirror arrangement comprises a pivoting mirror which is mounted on a frame with the aid of a mirror support and which carries permanent magnetic means at its back for producing a permanent magnetic field for electrical control purposes. Between the pivoting mirror and the permanent magnetic means a mounting plate is located which comprises means for positioning the pivoting mirror and the permanent magnetic means. The mounting plate may also serve for clamping a mirror bearing which is made of rubber-like material or for positioning the mirror bearing when this is glued onto the back of the pivoting mirror.
