Abstract

In addition to theoretical research on ultrasonic motors, we also investigate their testing techniques. Testing can not only verify the theoretical method, but also propose solutions for some problems that can not be resolved by theoretical analysis. Furthermore, the performance of the products also requires experiments according to certain standard measurement methods. Therefore, much attention has been paid to the testing techniques of USMs around the world [1]–[3]. With the broad applications of USMs in aerospace field, semiconductor manufacture field, etc., the USA and Japan conducted certain basic research on USMs under extreme environmental conditions in 1998. Russia and Germany conducted some explorations in this aspect as well. Unfortunately, these techniques and data have not been reported[4]–[7]. In 2004, the European Space Agency successfully developed USMs suitable for vacuum environments and conducted many experimental studies, including mechanical characteristics, life testing, and vacuum thermal cycling experiments. At present, research institutes in China have also been carrying out some preliminary research on testing techniques for USMs[8]–[14].
