Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An imaging device has a bearing that has a first ring and a second ring, a first plate that is disposed on one side of the bearing and fixed to the first ring, an imaging unit that is disposed on a side of the first plate, a second plate that is disposed on another side of the bearing and fixed to the second ring, a first inductor that is accommodated in the first plate, and a second inductor that faces the first inductor and is accommodated in the second plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An imaging device comprising: a bearing that has a first ring and a second ring; a first plate that is disposed on one side of the bearing and fixed to the first ring; an imaging unit that is disposed on a side of the first plate; a second plate that is disposed on another side of the bearing and fixed to the second ring; a first inductor that is accommodated in the first plate; and a second inductor that faces the first inductor and is accommodated in the second plate. 2. The imaging device of claim 1 , further comprising: a first ferrite that is disposed between the first inductor and the first plate; and a second ferrite that is disposed between the second inductor and the second plate. 3. The imaging device of claim 2 , further comprising: a first cover that covers the first inductor and is fixed to the first plate; and a second cover that covers the second inductor and is fixed to the second plate. 4. The imaging device of claim 2 , further comprising: wherein holes through which a terminal of the first inductor passes are disposed in the first plate and the first ferrite, and holes through which a terminal of the second inductor passes are disposed in the second plate and the second ferrite. 5. The imaging device of claim 1 , further comprising: wherein the bearing is a radial bearing. 6. The imaging device of claim 5 , wherein a first space is disposed between the first plate and the second ring, and a second space is disposed between the second plate and the first ring. 7. The imaging device of claim 5 , wherein the first ring is an inner race of the radial bearing, and the second ring is an outer race of the radial bearing. 8. The imaging device of claim 1 , further comprising: wherein the bearing is a thrust bearing. 9. The imaging device of claim 1 , further comprising: wherein a first opening is disposed in a position corresponding to the first ring in the first plate, and a second opening is disposed in a position corresponding to the second ring in the second plate. 10. The imaging device of claim 1 , further comprising: wherein a space is disposed between the first inductor stored in the first plate and the second inductor stored in the second plate.
