Abstract

An actuator driving circuit is provided for a positive feedback amplification, through an amplifier, of a counter electromotive force generated in a stator coil of a linear actuator, for continuating a reciprocating movement of a moving element by self-oscillation of the linear actuator, and for an application of a periodic voltage to the stator coil, while the voltage is made sinusoidal if required, so as to render the driving circuit to be high in the driving efficiency and small in dimensions.
