The technology introduces a new type of attachment to the shaft of a vibration motor designed to have the dual properties of eccentricity and an aerodynamic shape. This aerodynamic shape is intended to enhance the performance of the ERM-based device, improve its capabilities, or both. In this disclosure the term “performance” means current draw, noise, or controllability of the aerodynamic vibration attachment. The aerodynamic vibration attachment may have additional properties such as an embedded or otherwise incorporated shape or target that facilitates the estimation or measurement of the aerodynamic vibration attachment's angular position, angular velocity, or both, by a sensor or sensors. Alternatively, the aerodynamic vibration attachment may have additional properties such as an embedded sensor or sensors, and facilitates the estimation or measurement of the aerodynamic vibration attachment's angular position, angular velocity, or both, compared to signals obtained from external, non-rotating sensors, targets, markers or references.

In the actuator, the viscoelastic members are arranged at positions at which the support body and the movable body face each other in the first direction, and the magnetic drive circuit drives the movable body in the second direction which crosses the first direction. The viscoelastic members connect the movable body and the support body together while having the thickness direction thereof in the first direction and extending in the second direction. Therefore, resonance caused when the movable body is vibrated can be restricted. Reproducibility of vibration acceleration corresponding to the input signals can be improved by utilizing the spring elements of the viscoelastic members in the shearing direction, thus enabling the actuator to vibrate with delicate nuances. Further, the viscoelastic members can be prevented from being pressed in the thickness direction and greatly deformed, therefore, preventing the gap between the movable body and the support body from greatly varying.

A linear-rotary actuator includes a base, a first linear motor, a second linear motor, a linear rail, and a ball screw. The first and second linear motors are disposed on the base and respectively have a coil assembly and a magnet backplane. The linear rail is located on the base. The ball screw includes a screw and a nut, wherein the screw is connected to the first linear motor, and the nut is connected to the second linear motor. When the screw and the nut are driven by the first and second linear motors to move along the linear rail in a synchronized manner, the linear-rotary actuator provides linear motion output. When the nut is driven by the second linear motor to move along the linear rail in an asynchronous manner with respect to the screw, the linear-rotary actuator provides rotary motion output.
