Linear Ultrasonic Motors

  • Chapter

Abstract

As a type of ultrasonic motors, a linear ultrasonic motor (LUSM) also utilizes the converse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics and the ultrasonic vibration of an elastic body [1]. It transfers the micro amplitude motion of a stator into the macro linear motion of a slider by the friction force between the stator and slider. Besides the common characteristics of rotary ultrasonic motors, linear ultrasonic motors also possess the following characteristics [2]: (a) the capability of a direct and straight drive; (b) a high precision accuracy up to nanometer level; (c) good control characteristics due to no movement errors from auxiliary parts, such as linkage, ball screw, transmission belt, etc; (d) a simple structure and the variability of shape, allowing easy miniaturization and weight loss.
