The elastic suspension plate is provided with a magnetic device on one side thereof. The cantilever arms are supported on a reinforcement frame to carry an optical lens. When an electric current is supplied through a connector to the magnetic device of the actuator, a reciprocal attraction or repulsion force is generated and applied to one side of the elastic suspension plate so that the elastic suspension plate may function as an oscillation member with an imaginary axis line between the two bending sections of the frame body as an axis to carry the optical lens to generate fast and position-constrained oscillation at two sides. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A single-axis optical actuator suspension system, comprising at least: a base, which is formed with a rectangular light transmission opening in a central area thereof and is provided with a support post on each of two opposite sides along a diagonal line of the light transmission opening, and is further provided with a magnetic device on a long side of the rectangular light transmission opening, a connector being provided at an end of the base; a reinforcement frame, which is arranged under the base and is formed with a light transmission opening in a central area thereof, a supporting plate and an insertion plate being provided and projecting outward from one side of the light transmission opening to extend through the base in order to retain and fix the magnetic device; an elastic suspension plate, which is in the form of a flat metal plate and comprises a frame body, which defines a light transmission opening in a center thereof, the frame body being provided with a beveled edge at each of two opposites side along a diagonal line thereof, the beveled edge being provided with a bending section on an outside thereof and extended outward from the frame body to form a cantilever arm such that a spacing gap is formed between an inner side of the cantilever arm and an outer side of the beveled edge; an oscillation member, which comprises a carrying plate form that is formed with a light transmission opening in a central area thereof, the light transmission opening having an inner flange that forms a lens support trough to receive an optical lens to fit and fix therein; and two fasteners, which are respectively put through outer ends of the cantilever arms that extend from two ends of the elastic suspension plate and are fixed to the two support posts of the base so that the elastic suspension plate and the oscillation member carry and support the optical lens wherein the fasteners at the two ends of the elastic suspension plate serve as supports to support the oscillation member that carries the optical lens thereon above the light transmission opening of the base and wherein under an action of the magnetic device, the oscillation member is caused to move such that two sides of the oscillation member fast oscillate about an axis defined by an imaginary axis line between flexing points of the two bending sections of the elastic suspension plate. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The single-axis optical actuator suspension system according to claim 1, wherein the two support posts comprise positioning markings and positioning plates that are matingly engageable with the elastic suspension plate. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The single-axis optical actuator suspension system according to claim 2, wherein the positioning markings of the two support posts are positioning tenons and the elastic suspension plate is provided with a positioning recess corresponding to each of the positioning tenons. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The single-axis optical actuator suspension system according to claim 1, wherein the cantilever arms of the elastic suspension plate are each formed with a reduced necking section at an inner end thereof adjacent to the bending section and are each formed with a fastener hole in an outer end thereof. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The single-axis optical actuator suspension system according to claim 1, wherein the cantilever arms each have an inner side that is parallel to an outer side of the beveled edge of the light transmission opening. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The single-axis optical actuator suspension system according to claim 1, wherein the frame body has a periphery that is formed, through recessing, a plurality of fitting notches. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The single-axis optical actuator suspension system according to claim 1, wherein the insertion plate of the reinforcement frame extends through a coil of the magnetic device and the supporting plate abuts one side of a magnet. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The single-axis optical actuator suspension system according to claim 1, wherein the cantilever arms of the elastic suspension plate are each formed with a reduced necking section at an inner side thereof adjacent to the bending section.
