A rotary ultrasonic motor using bending vibration transducers

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2010 Oct;57(10):2360-4. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2010.1697.

Abstract

A rotary ultrasonic motor using bending vibration transducers is proposed. In each transducer, two orthogonal bending vibrations are superimposed and an elliptical trajectory is generated at the driving foot. Typical output of the prototype is a no-load speed of 58 rpm and maximum torque of 9·5 Nm under an exciting voltage of 200 V(rms).
