The Technologies Of LRA Vibration Motors

Linear Resonant Actuator

A linear resonant actuator (LRA) is a vibrating motor that produces oscillating force along a single axis. LRAs respond more quickly than ERM coin motors. For example, an LRA takes only 50ms to reach the highest vibration level, while a coin motor takes between 100ms and 200ms. LRAs, particularly Z-axis vibrating motors, provide tactile feedback perpendicular to their surface, improving acceleration and feedback quality.

As a result, many high-end applications prefer LRAs. Unlike brushed motors, which wear down over time due to brushes, the LRA motor is brushless, using a voice coil to drive the mass, with only the spring being the movable part that can fail. LRA motors generally last over five times longer than traditional coin motors.

It is important to note that LRA motors operate on AC power, meaning users need to add IC drivers to the PCB board to activate them.

How can LRA vibration motors be driven?

1.Use AC Voltage

LRA motors require alternating current (AC) voltage to operate, as they cannot function with direct current (DC). AC provides the necessary commutation for the motor since it lacks a commutator.

2. Need A LRA Driver IC

You need a specific driver IC designed for LRA motors.These haptic driver ICs are capable of driving both ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) motors and LRA motors.

3. Choose the Right Frequency

he AC signal applied to the LRA motor should match the natural resonant frequency of the motor to ensure optimal performance. Typically, the IC drivers can handle this automatically by generating the correct sine wave signal.

Key Parameters of Linear Motor Specifications

Rise Time & Fall Time

The rise time for a typical linear vibration motor is around 0-10ms, with a maximum fall time of 80ms. In comparison, the rise time for an ERM motor is approximately 120ms, and the fall time is 180ms. This means that linear motors have significantly faster response times, with rise and fall times being only a fraction of those of ERM motors.

Resonant Frequency (F0)

Each linear motor has a fundamental parameter known as F0, which refers to the resonant frequency of the motor’s internal spring system. The resonant frequency (F0) corresponds to the point where the linear resonant actuator produces its maximum vibration force. For example, the LRA0832BE03L15, a small 8mm linear resonant actuator, has a resonant frequency of 235 Hz, which dictates its optimal performance in generating vibration.

FAQ For LRA Vibration Motots

1.What is LRA vibration Motor?

An LRA vibration motor, also called a linear resonant actuator, consists of a small mass connected to a spring. When activated, the spring generates a force that produces vibrations.

An ERM vibration motor uses an unbalanced mass on a DC motor, which generates vibrations as the motor spins. In contrast, an LRA vibration motor uses a voice coil to move the mass, with the springs being the only components at risk of wear or damage.

Benefits include a quick response time, making them ideal for applications needing fast vibrations. The vibration frequency remains stable, unaffected by fluctuations in battery voltage.

Drawbacks include their higher cost and the requirement for an external driver IC to generate the AC signal needed by the LRA. Additionally, for optimal performance, the AC signal should match the resonant frequency of the LRA.
