Abstract :
We have studied a cylindrical moving coil linear DC motor to ink jet shuttle printer that make it possible to print with high speed, high resolution and low power consumption. The actuator is supposed to be driven using resonance of spring plates which are placed at the end of the permanent magnet and the armature respectively. However, the permanent magnet and armature of the actuator did not resonated at the same frequency and the spring coefficient changed because these were fixed to the supports by screws. At present, a new support mechanism is being made
