The invention relates to a torque motor comprising a stator and a rotor that extend along a common central axis. The stator includes an integral magnetic body and at least one pair of radial teeth that extend along the central axis and define slots for receiving stator windings, and at least one permanent magnet supported by the integral magnetic body. The torque motor also includes a winding support for the stator windings that has a hollow body that extends along the central axis and that delimits a chamber for receiving the rotor, and cavities for receiving the stator windings. In this way, the stator windings are integrated in the stator by the winding support, fitted with the stator windings, being axially inserted into the integral magnetic body.

To provide a rolling magnetic driving unit that can be employed for both of an optical unit with shake correction function that causes an optical module to swing and rotate and an optical unit with shake correction function that causes the optical module to rotate, a second unit (i.e., a rolling magnetic driving unit) includes: a rotation seat; and a fixation member that supports the rotation seat via a bearing mechanism. The rotation seat and the bearing mechanism configure a rotation-supporting mechanism. The rotation-supporting mechanism supports a holder, which supports the optical module such that the optical module is able to swing, such the holder is able to rotate on the axis. Furthermore, the second unit includes a rolling magnetic driving mechanism, which includes a rolling driving coil that is held by the rotation seat and a rolling driving magnet that is held by the fixation member.
