Abstract

An optical pickup system in which a tracking objective lens is moved by opposed magnetic coils attached to the lens along the axis of the lens and in the transverse direction across the recording tracks. A servo system on a fixed base supplies current to the movable coils by lead wires which are connected at the middle to a fixed vibration absorbing material, such as polyurethane foam.
