Patent ID: 7916427

Claim:
A device configured for attachment to an actuator, the device comprising: a microactuator that is attached to the actuator, the microactuator including a plurality of solid actuator layers, the microactuator divided into a pair of sections that are separated from each other in a lateral direction such that an aperture without solid material is disposed between the sections; a solid body that is attached to the microactuator, the solid body shaped as a plurality of flexible elements adjacent to the microactuator and shaped as a rigid portion distal to the microactuator, the flexible elements disposed laterally relative to each other such that the rigid portion is disposed between the flexible elements; and an electromagnetic transducer that is part of the rigid portion, the electromagnetic transducer including a plurality of solid transducer layers; wherein the microactuator, flexible elements and rigid portion are all intersected by a plane that extends in the lateral direction, such that actuation of the microactuator causes the electromagnetic transducer to move in the lateral direction.
