Abstract

A vibration motor is disclosed. The vibration motor includes a frame, a vibration unit, a driving unit and a suspension member for suspending the vibration unit. The driving unit is adjacent to a side wall of the frame. The side wall is provided with a cantilever corresponding to the driving unit. The driving unit is elastically connected to the frame through the cantilever. An elastic deformation direction of the cantilever is perpendicular to that of the suspension member. The vibration motor can eliminate redundant vibrations and improve the stability.
