Abstract
Provided is a vibration actuator including: a movable part that gives vibration to a vibration presenting part that receives a pressing operation; a vibration generating part that generates the vibration of the movable part in accordance with the pressing operation; a base part; and an elastic support part. The movable part includes: a load detecting part provided between a presentation-part side fixing part and a support-part side fixing part and detecting, as a load, strain due to the pressing operation; and a movement regulating part provided on a side of the presentation-part side fixing part rather than the load detecting part. The movement regulating part regulates movement of the movable part by engaging with an engaged part of the base part via a buffer member when the movable part moves in a direction separating from the base part.
