An ultrasonic linear motors consist of a slider and an ultrasonic vibrator which generates an elliptical oscillations. The ultrasonic linear motors mainly consist of an ultrasonic vibrator which generates elliptical oscillations. The ultrasonic linear motor fabricated in this paper was the use of the 1st longitudinal(L1) and 4th bending vibrations(B4). In order to low driving voltage and improve the life time of the ultrasonic motor, we used stacked piezoceramics. Stacked piezoceramics are adhered to aluminum elastic material. The finite element method was used to optimize dimension of ultrasonic vibrator and direction of vibratory displacement. As a result of estimating the characteristics of the ultrasonic linear motor, no-load velocity was 0.204[m/s] when applied voltage was 70[ $V_{rms}$] in resonance frequency.y.

Novel structure ultrasonic motors which have cross type stator were designed and fabricated. Driving characteristics of the motors were analyzed and measured by changing the materials of the stator. This ultrasonic motor has stator with hollowed cross bar and the stator rotate the rotor using elliptical displacement of the inside tips. This motion is generated by lateral vibration mode of cross bars. This stator was analyzed by finite element analysis depandent on stator's materials. And the cross type ultrasonic motors were made by analyzed results. The larger displacements were obtained, when the density of material was decreased. But the stress was increased when the stator's material has large density and Young's modulus. The fabricated one has high speed and torque in large stress on contact point between rotor and stator. The stress was more effected on speed and torque than the displacement.

In this paper, two kinds of windmill type motors which have a disk shape and a ring shape piezoelectric ceramics were studied. And characteristics of two models were compared with each others. A windmill type ultrasonic motor is composed of a stator, a rotor, and a ball bearing. The stator is made of a piezoelectric ceramics and two metals endcaps. When the piezoelectric ceramics vibrate, displacement of torsonal vibration appear at metal endcaps. The motor with 11.0[mm] diameter was studied by finite element analysis. The voltage of 100[V] was supplied at each model. Resonance frequency of 206.875[KHz] was obtained at the disk type, but ring type was 137.562[KHz]. The maximum torsonal displacement of $1.112[{\mu}m]$ was obtained at the disk type, but ring type was $1.698[{\mu}m]$.

Transducer for linear ultrasonic motor with symmetric and anti-symmetric modes was studied. The transducer was composed of two Langevin-type vibrators. In order to excite two vibration modes, Two Langevin-type vibrators must have 90-degree phase difference with each other. As result, tip of transducers moves in elliptical motion. In this paper, vibration shape of transducer was simulated and The resonant frequency and maximum displacement were calculated using the FEA (Finite Element Analysis).

In this study, multilayer structured ultrasonic linear motor was simulated using Atila for investigating its optimum driving conditions. The ultrasonic linear motors mainly consist of an ultrasonic vibrator to generate elliptical displacement. The ultrasonic linear motor simulated in this paper was the use of the 1st longitudinal(Ll) and 4th bending vibrations (B4). Whit the increase of the number of piezoelectric actuator layers, displacement of node was increased. Maximum total displacement of node was about $3,91{\mu}m$ at the 13 layered ultrasonic motor under 5 V.

This paper proposes an interfaces control system to drive a ultrasonic motors(USMs). To touch surfaces and objects created within a virtua environment, the 3 DOF force-reflecting interfaces provides force feedback to users, so to feel touching real things. To effectively display the mechanical impedance of the human hand we need a device with specific characteristics, such as low inertia almost zero friction and very high stiffness. As an actuator for direct drive method, the USMs have many good advantages satisfied these conditions over conventional servo motors. To estimate capability of this interface, we did an experiment. The device works very well, as user are able to detect the edge of the wall and the stiffness of the button.

Piezoelectric motors have been successfully developed for various applications like autofocus drives in camera lenses and handling equipment for high-accuracy positioning. In this paper, the travelling-wave motor which used in the camera lense, using bending vibration of a ring was studied. The basic structure of the motor is same but we suggested a few parameters for considering their design. The parameter is different from sine and cosine region of the voltage of the ceramic surface, displacement according to the wave number difference, and the phase difference. Same size of ceramics and aluminium ring were used for the stator. As a result, the displacement is dependent on the wave number.

Transducer for linear ultrasonic motor with symmetric and anil anti-symmetric modes was studied. The transducer was composed of two Langevin-type vibrators that cross at right angles with each other at tip. In order to excite two vibration modes, two Langevin-type vibrators must have 90-degree phase difference with each other. As a result, tip of transducers moves in elliptical motion. Elliptical trajectoric of transducer was analyzed by employing the finite element method. From these results, the ultrasonic motor was fabricated and was measured for characteristics. In this paper compared an ANSYS analysis with an experiment results. The no-road maximum speed was 113.1[cm/s].

This paper deals with a flat type ultrasonic motor, which uses a longitudinal-bending multi mode vibrator of rectangular form. A linear ultrasonic motor was designed by combination of the first longitudinal and eighth bending mode, and the motor consisted of a straight aluminum alloy bar bonded with piezoelectric ceramic elements as a driving element. The geometrical dimensions of the rectangular aluminum vibrator were determined by Euler-Bernoulli theory ANSYS was used to analyze the resonance frequency and the displacement of the stator vibrator. The resonance frequency of the motor provides the elliptical motion. and ANSYS was used to analyze elliptical motion and elliptical trajectory of stator vibrator when thickness of piezoelectric ceramics was varied respectively 0.763, 1.526, 2.289[mm] and width of stator vibrator was varied respectively 16, 12, 8, 4[mm]. When thickness of piezoelectric ceramics was decreased, the displacement of the stator vibrator was increased. And when width of stator vibrator was decreased, the displacement of the stator vibrator was increased.
