ROTARY RECIPROCATING DRIVE ACTUATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019683 titled 'ROTARY RECIPROCATING DRIVE ACTUATOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a rotary reciprocating drive actuator that includes a movable body with a shaft part and a magnet, capable of performing a reciprocating rotation. The base portion supports the shaft part via a bearing, allowing it to rotate. The core assembly consists of a core body with magnetic poles, a coil body energized to cause the reciprocating rotation, and a magnet position holding portion that generates a magnetic attraction force to define a reference position. The preload applying part is externally fitted to the shaft part and applies a preload to the bearing.

Original Abstract Submitted
a rotary reciprocating drive actuator includes: a movable body including a shaft part to which a magnet is fixed and being capable of performing a reciprocating rotation around an axis; a base portion including a pair of wall portions for supporting the shaft part via a bearing such that the shaft part is rotatable; a core assembly including: a core body having a plurality of magnetic poles facing an outer circumference of the magnet to sandwich the magnet, a coil body wound around the core body and energized to cause a reciprocating rotation of the movable body, and a magnet position holding portion generating a magnetic attraction force between the magnet position holding portion and the magnet to define a reference position of the reciprocating rotation; and a preload applying part externally fitted to the shaft part and configured to apply a preload to the bearing.
