Double Magnet Coin Vibration Motors |

Standard coin vibration motor (with brushes) are not noted for their fast rise and fall times and hence are not the best choice for haptic feedback applications. They incorporate a single magnet situated under the motors rotating voice coils / counter weight assembly, at the base of the coin motor. Our engineers recently discovered that by adding a second magnet above the voice coil / counter weight assembly, effectively sandwiching it between both magnets, many of the vibration motors performance characteristics dramatically improved. Most notable is that this “Double Magnet” design greatly improved the rise / fall times as well as the G force. Power consumption is comparable to that of the single magnet design.
As can be seen from the table above, the rise / fall times are better than that of an LRA and there is no need for an external driver IC. They can be driven with DC voltage and do not require a driver IC. Being a brush type motor, the over motor lifetime (100K cycles) is not as good as that of a coin LRA (1000K cycles). Pricing is slightly higher than that of a standard single magnet, brush type, coin vibration motor, but about 30% less than that of an LRA and even more so if you factor in the required driver IC for the LRA.
