Abstract
A movable member coupled to a displacement detector via a void is disposed with respect to a fixed member to which a coil is fixed. By disposing the coil in a closed loop magnetic circuit including a permanent magnet, the movable-side member, and the fixed member, a Lorentz force for moving the movable-side member in the axial direction is generated.

A servo-type vibration detector comprising:
- a fixed member;
- a movable member provided to be movable in a predetermined direction with respect to the fixed member, the movable member being configured to allow a magnetic flux to flow inside the movable member;
- an elastic member supporting the fixed member such that the movable member is disposed with a void portion interposed;
- a displacement detecting unit detecting displacement of the movable member in the predetermined direction;
- and
- a drive means configured to generate an electromagnetic force for returning the movable member to an origin position when the displacement detecting unit detects a relative displacement of the movable member from the origin position,
- wherein the drive means includes a coil fixed to the fixed member, and
- the movable member includes at least a movable-side yoke material constituting a part of a closed loop magnetic circuit.
