A vibration actuator, includes: a movable body including a magnet; a fixing body including a coil; and an elastic support portion supporting the movable body, in which: the fixing body includes: a first fixing body disposed on one side of a vibration direction so as to cover the movable body, and a second fixing body that is bonded to the first fixing body and being configured to accommodate the movable body in such a way that the movable body is capable of vibrating, in which: the elastic support portion is a plate-shaped elastic body that includes one end portion fixed to the movable body and is provided to protrude from an outer periphery of the movable body in a radial direction, and another end portion of the elastic support portion is fixed while being sandwiched between the first fixing body and the second fixing body.

Vibration actuator

A vibration actuator has a movable body including a magnet, a fixing body including a coil, and an elastic support portion. The movable body vibrates in a magnetization direction of the magnet in cooperation with the coil to which power is supplied and the magnet. The fixing body has a peripheral wall portion that is disposed to surround the movable body in a direction intersecting the magnetization direction. The elastic support portion is a plate spring which has one end portion fixed to an outer periphery of the movable body opposing an inner surface of the peripheral wall portion and the other end portion fixed to the peripheral wall portion and is disposed in a radial direction from the outer periphery of the movable body. The one end portion of the elastic support portion is bonded by a fixing portion provided in the movable body.
