Abstract

L'objet de la présente invention est de résoudre le problème lié aux difficultés de miniaturisation et de positionnement d'aimants à des emplacements appropriés à cause de bobines qui sont disposées de façon à entourer un miroir dans un dispositif d'entraînement, comme un scanner MEMS, dans lequel un objet entraîné, comme un miroir, est amené à tourner. Selon l'invention, ces dispositifs d'entraînement (103, 104) sont dotés : d'une seconde base (110-2) qui est entraînée en rotation autour de l'axe X par le biais de premières parties élastiques (120a-1, 120b-1) à l'intérieur d'une première base (110-1) ; et d'une partie entraînée (130) qui est entraînée en rotation autour de l'axe Y par le biais de secondes parties élastiques (120a-2, 120b-2) à l'intérieur de la seconde base. La partie entraînée est disposée à l'extérieur des enroulements d'une première bobine (140a) et d'une seconde bobine (140b) disposées sur la seconde base, la partie entraînée se trouvant entre elles. De plus, des parties d'application de champ magnétique (161, 162), appliquant chacune un champ magnétique à la bobine, sont disposées de sorte qu'elles sont décalées l'une de l'autre dans la direction d'axe X ou dans la direction d'axe Y.
