Abstract
Provided is a vibration actuator including: a movable body including a coil and a core around which the coil is wound; a fixing body including a magnet; and a shaft part turnably supporting the movable body with respect to the fixing body on a side of the one end part of the core. The movable body reciprocatingly and rotationally vibrates around the shaft part with respect to the fixing body by cooperation between the coil to be energized and the magnet. The magnet is disposed to face the other end part of the core in an extending direction of the core when energization is not performed. The magnet includes two magnetic poles having different polarities and arranged in a reciprocating and rotational vibration direction. A weight part is disposed in a notch on a side of the other end part of the core or in the coil.
