Abstract: A vibration apparatus, which is provided with vibration actuators with which a moving body elastically supported on a fixed body can be vibrated linearly with respect to the fixed body at a resonance frequency, has a mounting case in which multiple vibration actuators are mounted. The multiple vibration actuators oscillate at roughly the same resonance frequency, and in a manner such that the respective oscillation axis lines along the oscillation directions of the moving bodies are parallel to each other and that the center of gravity of the mounting case is interposed between the oscillation axis lines, the vibration actuators are disposed in orientations according to which the actuators excite oscillations in mutually opposite directions on the respective oscillation axis lines.

Abstract: In the movable body one of a magnet and a core that has a magnetic pole surface disposed so as to face a magnetic pole surface of the magnet via an air gap and around which a coil is wound is provided on each of both sides across the shaft of the support shaft part in the movable body, and in the fixing body the other is provided facing the magnet or core disposed on both sides of the shaft of the support shaft part in the movable body. The movable body is elastically supported by magnetic attractive force generated between the magnetic pole surfaces at each of both sides across the shaft and vibrates back and forth in the direction of the shaft of the support shaft part with respect to the fixing body by the coil interacting with the magnet.
