Piezoelectric ceramics can provide electro-mechanical transduction with high stresses but low displacement. To obtain larger displacements, several mechanical amplifying structures have been used. High alternating displacements can be obtained using resonant structure. In this paper, we designed three kinds of the bolt-tightened Langevin type ultrasonic vibrators whose resonant frequencies are 30[kHz], 40[kHz]. FEM(Finite Element Methode) was employed to calculated the resonant frequencies and maximum displacements of designed vibrators. The designed resonant frequencies and computer calculated frequencies were coincided. When input voltages were increased, maximum displacements were also raised. ANSYS was used to find resonant frequencies and calculate displacements of vibrators.
