8.8 Magnetic Buzzer Concepts

8.8.1 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 relative to the frequency applied.



Diaphragm movement.
