Abstract

See full text

A voice coil motor (VCM) includes a coil, and on a first side a first yoke having a coil-side facing the coil, a first low-coercivity permanent magnet positioned between the coil and the coil-side of the first yoke and having a yoke-side facing the first yoke and a coil-side opposing the yoke-side, and a first high-coercivity permanent magnet adjoining the coil-side of the first low-coercivity magnet. A second side of the VCM on the opposing side of the coil is similarly configured. The permeance coefficient of such a VCM enables magnetic stability of low-coercivity magnetic materials. Additional high-coercivity permanent magnets may be bonded to the coil-sides of each of the first and second yokes and adjoining the yoke-sides of each of the low-coercivity permanent magnets, if the relative thicknesses of the magnet materials so dictate by design.
