That is, the magnetic flux source 5 is configured so that the distance between the coil 4 and the central magnet 5C is the same as the distance between the coil 4 and each of the left side magnet 5L and the right side magnet 5R. In this case, the strength of the magnetic field passing through the bundled wire portion of the coil 4 becomes non-uniform in position.

That is, the guide means GM can suppress the movable body MB from moving in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction) and the up-down direction (Z-axis direction). Therefore, this configuration can simplify the shape of the elastic support member 7 which is interposed between the housing HS and the movable body MB so as to elastically support the movable body MB. This is because the elastic support member 7 does not need to suppress the movement of the movable body MB in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction) and the up-down direction (Z-axis direction).

- the number of magnetic fluxes passing through each bundled wire portion constituting the coil 4 is configured to be substantially uniform among the bundled wire portions.
- This configuration can suppress the strength of the magnetic field passing through the coil 4 from becoming non-uniform in position regardless of the relative positional relationship between the coil 4 and the magnetic flux source 5. Specifically, this configuration can prevent the number of magnetic fluxes passing through the bundled wire portion of the coil 4 from becoming non-uniform among the bundled wire portions. Therefore, in this configuration, when the movable body MB moves in the left-right direction, the strength of the magnetic field passing through the specific bundled wire portion in the coil 4 changes, and an induced electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction, which is desired. It is possible to prevent the movement in the direction from being hindered.
- the vibration generator 101 can realize a large driving force with the same power consumption as compared with the configuration in which the strength of the magnetic field passing through the coil 4 is not uniform in position as shown in FIG. 11B. It means that the power consumption for realizing the same driving force can be suppressed.
- the vertical thickness of the central magnet 5C is smaller than the vertical thickness of the left magnet 5L and smaller than the vertical thickness of the right magnet 5R. It may be configured to be.
- the strength of the magnetic field passing through the bundled wire portion of the coil 4 becomes non-uniform in position. This is to prevent it from being stored.
- the magnetic flux source 5 is configured so that the width of the central magnet 5C in the left-right direction is smaller than the width of the left magnet 5L and the right magnet 5R in the left-right direction. It is possible to more reliably suppress the strength of the magnetic field passing through the coil 4 from becoming non-uniform in position.
- This configuration is because the widths of the left magnet 5L, the center magnet 5C, and the right magnet 5R in the left-right direction can be adapted to the widths of the bundled wire portion of the coil 4 in the left-right direction.
- the central magnet 5C has a width dimension approximately twice that of the left magnet 5L in the left-right direction, and is located on the right bundled wire portion of the left coil 4L and on the right side of the left coil 4L. It may be configured to generate a magnetic flux toward the left bundled wire portion of the adjacent coil (right side coil 4R).
