Abstract: A resonance drive actuator includes a casing; an electromagnetic drive section supported in the interior of the casing; a plunger to be reciprocatively driven at least in a rotational direction or in an axial direction by the electromagnetic drive section; an output shaft on which the plunger is fixed; and a spring which acts between the output shaft and the casing. The actuator resonantly drives a load connected to an end of the output shaft. The spring is a plate spring which integrally includes a casing inner-surface abutment portion fixedly abutting the inner surface of the casing, an output-shaft abutment portion fixedly abutting an outer surface of the output shaft, and a connection portion having the form of a strip and connecting the output-shaft abutment portion and the casing inner-surface abutment portion. The plate spring is fixed to both of the inner surface of the casing, and the output shaft.
