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].

The vibrational characteristics of Langevin-type piezoelectric torsional transducers have been studied theoretically and experimentally in this paper. The differential equations of piezoelectric torsional motion have been derived in terms of the circumferential displacement and the electric potential. Solutions of the boundary-value problem have yielded the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the transducers. The theoretical solutions have been verified by comparing the numerical results with experimental ones.

The fabrication of Langevin type vibrators producing relatively high sonic and ultrasonic energy is described. The dependence of the acoustic output and the frequency characteristics on the thickness of the steel plates and the pressure at the ceramics are investigated. As results, the acoustic output of Langevin type vibrators are relatively high, and the resonant frequency is decreassed by thickening the steel plates and lowering the pressure at the ceramics. Using these results, sonic and ultrasonic vibrator whose resonant frequency is determined can be designed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of acoustic radiation force on the standing wave acoustic levitation phenomenon, which is the levitation of small objects near the pressure node of the standing wave, using the Bernoulli principle. The source and scheme of the acoustic radiation force, which is the cause of the levitation, are conceptually explained through comparison with the graph of the acoustic radiation force versus the distance from the transducer. A series of experiments supporting this explanation was performed with a BLT(Bolt-clamped Langevin Type) ultrasonic transducer to confirm that the objects are floating near the pressure nodes and that it satisfies the condition for the standing wave formation when the object is levitating. Furthermore, the vertical alignment of floating objects, which is a characteristic of standing wave acoustic levitation phenomenon, could be explained.

Mode conversion type ultrasonic rotary motor using bolt tightened Langevin type vibrator was studied. Driving frequency of the motor, displacements and elliptical trajectories at tip of the coupler were simulated by finite element analysis program (ANSYS). Speed and torque of the fabricated motor were measured as functions of input voltage and load. As results, from FEA the driving frequency of 40.8[kHz] and useful elliptical trajectories were found. Fabricated motor rotated clockwise at frequency of 38.2[kHz]. Speed and torque of the motor were increased when the input voltage was increased. Maximum speed, torque and efficiency were 75[rpm], 0.14[Nm] and 6.28[％], respectively.

Bolt-tightened Langevin type vibrators using longitudinal mode of bar were designed and fabricated. In order to amplify the displacement of the tip of the vibrators, stacked ceramics were used and five different shapes of the horns were designed and jointed. Resonant frequencies and vibration characteristics of vibrators and horns were analyzed by ANSYS(finite element analysis computer program), and the displacements of tips of the horns were measured. As results, when the numbers of the stacked ceramics were increased, the displacements of the tips were increased and the driving voltages were decreased. Step l horn (BLT-St1) showed maximum displacement of 36.92 $\mu\textrm{m}$ at 36.7 ㎑ with 45 V$\sub$rms/ and 0.11 A. The displacement amplification ratio was about 5.2. But, the stress of step l horn was concentrated on intersection, where two diameters meet. To lessen the stress, step3 shaped hem is recommended.
