Why linear motors have become a mobile phone selling point?

Today, with the rapid development of digital products, the appearance and processor of mobile phones are becoming more and more homogeneous. More and more users have begun to focus on performance, and thus transfer to the actual user experience, such as dual Stereo speakers, 100x zoom, super fast charging, etc., have all begun to receive a lot of consumer attention, so when choosing a mobile phone, they will also focus on these. Of course, the attention to tactile feedback is definitely indispensable. Up.

In the past, the vibration experience of mobile phones was indeed a feature that was easier to overlook, but in fact it also played a significant role in our daily lives. Our most intuitive feeling about mobile phone vibration is the vibration feedback when we hit the keyboard. In the past, mobile phone vibration may be a practical function, but now mobile phone vibration is more of a user experience for us. The vibration modules in mobile phones can be roughly divided into two types: rotor motors and linear motors. Speaking of these two kinds of motors, I believe everyone should have heard about it. Recently, major mobile phone manufacturers have frequently promoted linear motors on their mobile phones. It can be said that linear motors have become a flagship machine. Standard configuration. So the question is, what are the differences between linear motors and rotor motors? Let's take a look at them.

effect

The mobile phone motor generally refers to the small vibration motor applied to the mobile phone. Its main function is to make the mobile phone produce a vibration effect, and the vibration effect provides operational feedback for the user who controls the mobile phone. For example, our commonly used mobile phone vibration, button feedback, etc., are all related to the motor.

Rotor motor

The so-called rotor motor is basically similar in structure to the common type of motors on four-wheel drive vehicles. It has the same principle as traditional motors. It uses electromagnetic induction to drive the rotor to rotate and generate vibrations with a magnetic field caused by current. Although the start-up response of the rotor motor is slow, there is no directionality, it takes up a lot of space, and it just has a feeling of vibration, but it is now standard for more than 90% of smart phones. In fact, the reason is very simple. The cost is low, the technical difficulty is low, and it will generally not become the standard for mainstream users to buy mobile phones, but once everyone has experienced linear motors, the feeling cannot be described in words at all, right?

Linear motor

The working principle of a linear motor is similar to that of a pile driver. The linear motor is actually a spring mass that relies on linear motion, which directly converts electrical energy into a linear motion mechanical energy. For rotor motors, the cost of linear motors is not only a little higher. The linear motors currently on the market are mainly divided into two types: horizontal linear motors (XY axis) and circular linear motors (Z axis). The performance of the circular linear motor may be slightly worse than that of the horizontal linear motor. Currently, the horizontal linear motor is the best vibration solution on the market. And the cost of horizontal linear motors is higher than that of circular linear motors.

At last

Nowadays, more and more users are beginning to pay attention to the actual experience of mobile phones, rather than just looking at the parameters and data. Many mobile phone manufacturers are now aware of the importance of linear motors. I believe that we should be able to see more and more mobile phones with horizontal linear motors in various future models. So for everyone, is linear motor a big rigid standard when you choose mobile phones now? Do you have any other opinions on this?
