  • Publication number: 20240009701
    Abstract: A weight with optimum weight and high strength can be easily manufactured and the vibration actuator with excellent vibration characteristic is provided. The vibration actuator is formed by a casing 2 with cylindrical shape, a coil 21 provided in the casing 2, and a mover 4 that vibrates along an vibration-axis direction of the casing 2. The mover 4 includes a mover body and a weight fixed to the mover body. A protrusion 311 protruding toward an opening of the casing 2 is provided at a central portion of the mover body, and a recess 321 which is recessed toward the opening of the casing 2 is provided at the central portion of the weight 32. The mover body and the weight 32 is fixed in a state in which the protrusion 311 is inserted into the recess 321.

  • Publication number: 20210351680
    Abstract: An oscillatory actuator 1 includes a cylindrical case 2, an electromagnetic driver 3, a mover 4, a first damper 40a, and an inner guide 6a. The electromagnetic driver 3 is provided inside the case 2. The mover 4 is enabled to oscillate through driving by the electromagnetic driver 3. The first damper 40a has a plurality of arms 52a supporting the mover 4 from an inner surface of the case 2. The inner guide 6a is provided on the inner surface of the case 2 and restricts movement of the first damper 40a beyond a predetermined range. The inner guide 6a is located further toward a center of the case 2 than the first damper 40a in a direction of an oscillation axis ? of the mover 4.
