A miniaturized wind-mill type ultrasonic motor which has diameter in 12.7 mm and thickness in 2.0mm using PMN-PZT piezoelectric ceramics was fabricated. The wind-mill type ultrasonic motors has only three plate and of two wind-mill shape slotted metal endcaps a rotor whose end is hollowed out so that its periphery fits with the shape of the stator and a bearing to guide the rotor. A Finite Element Analysis was carried out to obtain the endcaps behavior under a radial displacement change of piezoelectric disk and to optimize the structure of the number of slots. Increasing the applied voltage the revolution speed of ultrasonic motors was increased. The maximum speed of 700 rpm and the maximum torque of 0.22 nN·m of the wind-mill type ultrasonic motors were obtained.

Ultrasonic motors have an advantage over conventional electro-magnetic motors because of its excellent characteristics, such as high torque, low speed output, compact size, excellent controllability and, above of all, quite operation. The principle of operation of ultrasonic motors is to generate gross mechanical motion through the amplification and repetition of micro-deformations of active materials. A brief description of working principle and methods of analysis of dynamic behaviors of ultrasonic motors are given for the extended research and development activities anticipated in the mechanical engineering community.

A new end-effector has been devised and the problems resulted from using it with SCARA robots are discussed. The end effector has two modules: one composed of two ultrasonic motors and two encoders for controlling each finger, and the other module composed of two ultrasonic motors and two encoders for controlling the wrist. The wrist module adds two degrees of freedom to the SCARA type robot, which generally has four degrees of freedom. With independent finger actuation and touch sensors, the gripper under computer control can feedback information about part size and part presence. Ultrasonic motors with high torque and slow motion characteristics are used. The principle of ultrasonic motors is explained and the servo characteristics of ultrasonic motors are studied. They are controlled by the general motion controller (Hewlett Packard HCTL-1000) which is linked to an IBM-PC AT.

Computerization of ultrasonic scanner is considered to achieve more quantitative and reliable ultrasonic testing. Testech LS-24 ultrasonic scanner is modified, and step motors in this modified ultrasonic scanner are driven by multiprogrammer controlled by computer. Two step motors can be controlled independently and simultaniously. The performance of computerized ultrasonic scanner is examined entloying modified C scan for a flat bottom hole ultrasonic reference block.

The rotational force of ultrasonic motors is able to get from the frictional force of elliptical vibration by contact between rotor and stator. Generally, ultrasonic motors are suitable for driving at resonant frequencies of about 20∼80［KHz］. The driving characteristics of ring type ultrasonic motors are the object of this study. A two-phase driving signal is delivered to the tested ultrasonic motor, which has a $90^0$ phase difference respectively with both sine and cosine voltage waveforms. The driving frequency is almost equal to the mechanical resonant frequency for the proper operation, and the driving signal is supplied by the two-phase parallel resonant inverter. The validity of the proposed driving method is verified by experimental results with stable operation.

An ultrasonic linear motor was composed of a slider and a stator vibrator including piezoelectric material and elastic material. The ultrasonic linear motors mainly consist of an ultrasonic oscillator which generates elliptical oscillations. Elliptical oscillations are generated by synthesizing two degenerated modes. The design of a stator for an Ultrasonic linear motor was optimized with respect to vibration mode and direction of vibratory displacement by employing the finite element method. The motors were designed by varying the width of stator vibrator and the thickness, the length and the position of piezoceramics.

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.

The modified Moonie(Cymbal) transducer has been investigated for an accelerometer application. This paper present a wind-mill type ultrasonic motors using ternary piezoelectric ceramics and aluminum endcaps applied by cymbal transducer. The maximum displacement was increased depend on applied voltage and layer number. The multi-layer was fabricated by tape casting using doctor-blade process. The maximum displacement of multi-layered ultrasonic motor was much higher than that of one-layered.

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.
