Abstract
In this paper, a one-touch-point ultrasonic motor is proposed. Fabricating the stator is easy because of its simple structure and the use of a punching technique. Also, a thin stator is advantageous to use in tight spaces. A thin metal plate was used as a V-shaped stator and two to the upper and two to the lower ceramic plates were attached to the upper and the lower surfaces respectively of the metal plate. When two sinusoidal sources with a phase difference of 90 degrees were applied to the stator, an elliptical displacement was generated at contact tip of the stator. Modeling of the ultrasonic motor was done and the displacement characteristics were defined by using a finite element analysis program (ATILA). To improve the speed and the torque of the ultrasonic motor, we analyzed the effects of the leg angle and the number of ceramic layers. In addition, a model with large x-axis and y-axis displacements was fabricated, and the speed and the torque were measured under various conditions. The elliptical motion of the contact tip of the stator was consistently obtained at the resonance frequency. The maximum speed and torque were obtained by using maximum elliptical displacement model. The speed and the torque increased linearly with increasing voltage.
