  • Publication number: 20230350275
    Abstract: The lens drive device comprises a voice coil motor, a focus lens unit 13, a main shaft 15a, an insertion hole 13ba, and a screw 30. The main shaft 15a guides the focus lens unit 13 in its movement in the optical axis direction. The insertion hole 13ba is provided in the focus lens unit 13, and the main shaft 15a is inserted therein. The screw 30 is provided to the focus lens unit 13, and suppresses looseness that occurs between the insertion hole 13ba and the main shaft 15a by being attracted in a specific direction together with the focus lens unit 13 by the magnetic force of the magnet 22 of the voice coil motor 20. The voice coil motor 20 is disposed below the position where the screw 30 is provided in the focus lens unit 13 in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 11598694
    Abstract: The present invention provides an abnormality diagnosis system capable of identifying an abnormality occurrence site in a rotary electric machine by use of output of sensors mounted to a bearing of the rotary electric machine. The abnormality diagnosis system includes: a rotary electric machine that has a main shaft secured to a center of a rotor and supported by a bearing; a vibration sensor that measures a vibration value of the bearing; a speed sensor that measures a rotational speed value of the main shaft; and an abnormality diagnosis apparatus that diagnoses abnormality in the rotary electric machine based on the vibration value and the rotational speed value.
