A haptic transducer is provided, comprising a motor including a yoke, an inner cavity formed by the yoke, and a magnet assembly disposed within the inner cavity; a diaphragm disposed above the magnet assembly; a suspension extending concentrically around the diaphragm and having an inner edge attached to the diaphragm and an outer edge attached to the yoke; a cylindrical coil coupled to the diaphragm and suspended within the inner cavity around the magnet assembly; a first hole extending through the motor; and a second hole axially aligned with the first hole and extending through the diaphragm, a fastener extending through the first hole into the second hole. A footplate system is also provided, comprising a footplate configured for placement in a piece of footwear; a moving motor transducer configured to transfer haptic sensations to the footplate; and a top fastener configured to secure the haptic transducer to the footplate.

Embodiments include a method for controlling an output generated by a haptic device, using an electronic device communicatively coupled to the haptic device and having a touch-sensitive surface and a display. The method comprises displaying a first graphical object comprising a plurality of intensity level markers representing different vibrational intensity levels; displaying a second graphical object on top of at least a portion of the first graphical object; detecting a contact at a first location of the touch-sensitive surface; detecting a movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to a second location of the touch-sensitive surface; and in response to the detected movement: adjusting a size of the second graphical object from a first size to a second size corresponding to a second intensity level marker, and causing the haptic device to change the selected vibrational intensity level to a second vibrational intensity level represented by the second marker.
