A suspension arm actuator for a scanning device includes a suspension arm which is designed as a two-arm lever having a first and second arms. The second lever arm includes a component for a magnetic drive for a swivel motion of the suspension arm. The component is arranged at a recess having the shape of a circular arc, with an inner leg of a yoke being permanently attached to a support projecting into the recess and forming a magnetic yoke, wherein the yoke is provided with a shell-like magnet on its outer leg in order to form the magnetic drive. A magnet for field optimization, which is magnetized perpendicularly in relation to the shell-like magnet, is arranged on the yoke in the region between the inner leg and the shell-like magnet to increase the sensitivity of the suspension arm actuator.
A suspension arm actuator for a scanning device, comprising a suspension arm which is designed as a two-arm lever having a first and a second lever arm, is allocated to a disk-shaped data carrier and is mounted to a support between the lever arms such that it can be pivoted about a pivot axis extending perpendicularly in relation to the suspension arm,
