Abstract
A magnetic circuit structure for use in an actuator, where the actuator has a displaceable assembly and a coil attached to such assembly, is shown to include flux conductors having generally parallel first and second poles defining gaps therebetween and an integrally formed base joining one end of the first and second poles so that the conductor defines a continuous flux path, and magnets attached to each of the first poles in the gaps so that flux from the magnets is directed across the gaps, wherein a portion of the coil passes through said gap, so that when a current is passed through the coil, the assembly moves.
