Abstract

An apparatus and method for generating rotary oscillation with two shafts pivotable relative to each other. An end section of a first shaft is accommodated in an end section of a second shaft so as to form an air gap. One of the two shafts has a magnetic field generator of substantially constant field strength, and the other shaft has conductors which generate a magnetic field and to which current has been variably applied to pivot the shafts relative to each other.
