Vibration motor and method for manufacturing the same

A method for manufacturing a vibration motor,

• the vibration motor including
• a stationary portion including a casing and a coil;
• a vibrating body including a weight and a magnet, the vibrating body being supported so as to be vibratable in one direction relative to the stationary portion;
• and
• an elastic member located between the stationary portion and the vibrating body,
• wherein the magnet is disposed above the coil in an up-down direction that is perpendicular to the one direction,
• wherein the weight includes a first side wall extending in the one direction and a second side wall facing the first side wall, and
• wherein the casing includes at least one first opening facing the first side wall and at least one second opening facing the second side wall,
• the method comprising:
• a first step of holding the weight by inserting protrusions of a jig into the first opening and the second opening;
• and
• a second step of fixing the elastic member and the casing to each other by welding in a state in which the weight is held.
