12.8. Magnetic Buzzer Concepts
12.8.1. Short Description
A magnetic Buzzer is a sound-generating device with a coil located in the magnetic
circuit consisting of a permanent magnet, an iron core, a high permeable metal disk
and a vibrating diaphragm.
Drawing of the Magnetic Buzzer.
The disk and diaphragm are attracted to the core by the magnetic field. When an
oscillating signal is moved through the coil, it produces a fluctuating magnetic field,
which vibrates the diaphragm at a frequency of the drive signal. Thus the sound is
produced as relative to the frequency applied.
Diaphragm movement.
