Zusammenfassung:Drivetrain assemblies for personal care devices using electromagnetic components to generate a combination of controllable power tapping and sweeping motions. The drivetrain assemblies include a drivetrain shaft at least partially contained within a body portion of the device. The drivetrain shaft is further configured to engage a brush head member of the device. The drivetrain assemblies further include a motor mounted on the drivetrain shaft, where the motor is configured to periodically rotate the drivetrain shaft about a first axis of the device, and an electromagnetic assembly configured to drive the drivetrain shaft and thereby the brush head member about an second axis of the device or in a direction parallel to a third axis of the device. The electromagnetic assembly includes a stator, a voice coil actuator, a rotor, or a linear solenoid actuator, for example.
