20220255399 | Haptic Generator Device and Applied Apparatus Including the Same - A haptic generator device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can include a stator, a rotor, a magnet, and a coil. The stator can include a stopper. The rotor can rotate in relation to the stator and can have a protrusion. The magnet can be provided on one of the rotor and the stator, where multiple magnets can be provided. The coil can be provided on the other of the rotor and the stator and can interact with the magnet to generate a rotational force. The rotor can perform an oscillating rotational movement within a 360-degree range. While the rotor is rotating in a first direction, a rotational movement of the rotor can be forcibly halted or can be rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction to generate a rotational inertia vibration before the protrusion of the rotor collides with the stopper of the stator. | 2022-08-11 |
20220255400 | ROTARY ACTUATOR - A rotary actuator includes a PWB motor and a wave gear drive. The PWB motor is an axial gap motor.
