Abstract

It is the object of the invention to decrease the gain peak of an objective lens holder at a natural frequency of a biaxial objective lens actuator used in an optical disc a system using a reproducing-only-disc, a write-once-disc or a erasable disc. The out-line of a construction is that each of support for an objective lens holder is composed of plural elastic wires surrounded damping material (silicone, for example), and a damping effect can be achieved by shearing stress caused in damping material, and each of support springs passes through a hole of a damping box, wherein the clearance between the support spring and the inner wall of the hole is filled with gelled damping material. A further improvement of damping can be achieved by the damping box.
