Abstract
A vibrator includes a voice coil and a vibrating member supported by first and second suspensions so as to be vibratory in the axial direction of the coil. Each of the first and second suspensions has an inner ring portion fixed to the vibrating member and an outer ring portion fixed to a casing of the vibrator. The inner and outer ring portions are connected through arcuate portions. Each arcuate portion has a first end connected to the inner ring portion and a second end connected to the outer ring portion. The arcuate portions of the first and second suspensions extend from the first end to the second end, respectively, in the same circumferential direction as seen from one side of the axial direction.
