Abstract
In at least one embodiment, a tactile transducer including a housing, a first voice coil and a magnetic assembly is provided. The first voice coil includes an electrically conductive wire being orientated in a first winding direction to generate a first magnetic field. The magnetic assembly is positioned within the housing. The magnetic assembly is configured to move within the housing to generate a tactile output and to repel against the first voice coil based on a polarity of the first magnetic field as the magnetic assembly moves toward the first voice coil to prevent contact of a first portion of the magnetic assembly with a first side of the housing.
