  • Patent number: 9621015
    Abstract: A linear vibration actuator for which the positional accuracy of coils in the casing can be easily increased. A linear vibration actuator (1) in which a magnet (13) and a weight (15) are fixed. The magnet (13) and the shaft (20) form a magnetic circuit within a casing (2) causing reciprocating motion of the weight (15) and magnet (13), via a coil (24) within a casing (2). The linear actuator (1) includes a shaft (20) provided within the casing (2) and made from a magnetic material. A coil (24) is supported by the shaft (20) includes first and second coil parts (22, 23) arranged parallel to an axial line L and wound in opposing directions. A ring-like magnet (13) surrounds the coil (24) and the shaft (20). A weight is fixed to the magnet. A plate spring (17) biases the magnet (13) and the weight (15) along the shaft (20).

  • Patent number: 9369025
    Abstract: In a vibration motor, insulators are provided with protrusions that are positioned radially inward from extension portions, provided at an end portion of a body of a weight, and that restrict radial movement of the extension portions. In addition, in the vibration motor, the weight is supported by the protrusions of the insulators so as to prevent the weight from falling radially inward. Therefore, when using the vibration motor, the situation in which a force acting radially inward upon the weight is supported only by a weld or an adhesive is prevented from occurring, so that a gradual reduction in the securing strength of the weight does not occur. The insulators can prevent the weight from falling when assembling the vibration motor.
