An objective lens actuator of the present invention is an actuator capable
of driving an objective lens which condenses a laser beam on an
information recording surface of an optical disk, in each of a focusing
direction, a tracking direction and a radial tilt direction. The actuator
comprises a fixed unit including first and second magnets, and a moving
unit which is arranged between the first and second magnets and which
includes the objective lens, focusing coils, tracking coils, and a radial
tilt coil. Each of the magnets is divided into four areas and being
magnetized such that adjacent areas have opposite poles N and S,
respectively. A direction of the magnetization is orthogonal to the
focusing direction and tracking direction.
