Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0984663A2] The transducer arrangement has an electromechanical transducer (30,32) in the form of an electromagnet arrangement. This has a fixed part (32) relative to the housing (14) and a vibrating part (30) connected to a coupling element (20), so that the vibrations are transferred to the coupling element.
