A compact
motor designed to produce vibration for haptic feedback or alert systems.
Commonly used in mobile devices, wearables, gaming controllers, and small
appliances, it offers reliable performance in a lightweight and durable form
factor.
Description:
A vibration motor is a compact electric motor designed to create
vibration using an eccentric rotating mass (ERM) or linear resonant actuator
(LRA). It is widely used in applications requiring haptic feedback, alert
notifications, and motion simulation. These motors are commonly found in mobile
phones, wearable devices, game controllers, and industrial automation systems.
