Disclosed is a linear voice coil actuator having a latching feature, the actuator having a coil assembly, a field assembly, a magnetic structure positioned in the coil assembly, and a stop which limits the position of the magnetic structure with respect to the field assembly when the coil is not energized. The coil assembly has a coil base and a coil located in a cavity in the coil base. The field assembly preferably has an axially magnetized cylindrical magnet, a soft pole piece, and a soft magnetic housing. Preferably the magnetic structure is a magnetic plate positioned coaxially with the axis of magnetization of the magnet and having a diameter or a thickness which is selected to set a latching force between the plate and the magnet when the coil is not energized. |
