Abstract
An optical pick-up includes a lens holder and a lens holder supporting portion. The lens holder has a focusing coil, a tracking coil, and a pair of nickel plates arranged to sandwich the focusing coil from the top and the bottom. The lens holder supporting portion includes a pair of permanent magnets having their magnetic poles of the same polarity opposite to each other and sandwiching the lens holder as seen in two dimensions. A sidewall of a slide hole is pressed against a slide shaft. Thus, a disk drive which can suppress a jerky motion of the lens holder when it moves along the slide shaft with a simple mechanism is provided.
