Abstract
A pickup apparatus capable of omitting an actuator cover and reducing the dimensions thereof, and a method of manufacturing the same. This apparatus is formed of an actuator unit in which a movable unit made by fixing printed board coils on both side surfaces of an objective lens-containing lens holder is supported movably on four wire-form elastic members fixed to an actuator base, and a suspension base which is provided with a pair of yokes to which a pair of magnets disposed in a mutually opposed state are fixed with a predetermined width of magnetic space left therebetween, and which has standing portions. A range of a movement in a focusing direction of the movable unit is restricted by inserting stopper members into insert holes of the standing portions.
