Audio Enhancements In Devices Using Motors

Abstract:

A motor may include a coil assembly, a ring, one or more magnets, and a shaft. The coil assembly may include one or more coils arranged in a circular structure. The ring may surround an outer surface of the coil assembly. One or more magnets may be adhered to an inner surface of the ring. The one or more magnets may correspond with a respective coil of the one or more coils. The shaft may extend through a center portion of the circular structure. The shaft may provide a rotational axis for the motor. The shaft may be configured to generate a natural resonance that does not overlap with an operating frequency of the motor.
