Abstract
A vibration generating device includes an electromagnet including a coil and a magnetic core around which the coil is wound; a permanent magnet; a casing to which the electromagnet or the permanent magnet is fixed; and an elastic body in which the electromagnet or the permanent magnet is held. The vibration generating device generates a vibration by relatively moving the electromagnet and the permanent magnet by energizing the coil. The casing has a polyhedral structure made of a plate material, and includes a first surface in which a gap portion is provided and another surface in which an extension portion is provided. The vibration generating device further includes a reinforcement portion that is formed by the extension portion extending from the another surface toward the first surface, thereby being fitted into the gap portion and flush with the first surface.
