A double driving feet linear ultrasonic motor using longitudinal vibration transducer is proposed in this paper. The stator of proposed motor contains a horizontal transducer and two vertical transducers. The horizontal transducer includes two exponential shape horns located at the leading ends, and each vertical transducer contains one exponential shape horn. The horns intersected at the tip ends where located the driving feet. The horizontal and vertical vibrations of driving feet are generated by the longitudinal vibrations of horizontal and vertical transducers, respectively. Longitudinal vibrations are superimposed in the stator and generated elliptical motions at the driving feet. The two vibration modals of stator are gained with FEM, and the resonant frequencies of two vibration modals are degenerated by adjusting the structural parameters. Transient analysis of piezoelectric coupling states the good and strong elliptical motions of driving feet, and verifies the theoretical feasibility of proposed motor.

Working Principle

A new type linear ultrasonic motor using Second-order bending and First-order torsional modes (2B-1T) is proposed. The ultrasonic motor has two driving feet and the continuous linear motions of sliders are realized by the frictional force between stator and sliders. In this new design, bending vibration is excited by d33 mode, which controls the preload pressure, and torsional vibration is excited by d15 mode, which generates the driving force. The elliptical trajectories of both feet are achieved, when the phase difference of the two modes is 90° in time and space. The working principle of ultrasonic motor using 2B-1T is simulated. A parametric model of the stator is designed. The sensitive analyses of structural parameters are gained with modal analysis. The characteristics and trajectories of driver feet are studied by transient analysis. These results can provide theoretical basis for the development of this new type ultrasonic motor.

A prototype for multi-mode linear ultrasonic motor has been proposed and designed. It is designed using a combination of the first longitudinal and the first bending mode. The piezoelectric ceramics convert energy using the longitudinal d33 effect which allows an improved reliability, large vibration amplitudes and excellent piezoelectric coupling. The normal direction motion of the driving element is excited by the first longitudinal mode. The tangential direction motion of the driving element is excited by the first bending mode. The resulting displacement of the driving element is transmitted by the frictional force between the vibrator and the rail in a linear motion. The analysis on the modals of the composite vibrator by using the ANSYS finite element software has been presented in this paper. Finally, the vibrator structure of the motor and the motor's own structures are designed. The basic design is discussed and simulations are compared with the experimental results, the results show that the motor characteristics can be optimized for a particular task by choosing the appropriate operating parameters such as exciting voltage, exciting frequency and normal force.

A rotary ultrasonic motor using longitudinal and bending vibration modes is proposed in this study. The proposed motor contains two exponential shape horns located on two ends, and the end tips of the horns are used as the driving feet. Two groups of PZT elements (Longitudinal PZT and Bending PZT) are clamped in the middle of the motor by a double head flange bolt to excite the longitudinal vibration mode and bending vibration mode of the motor, respectively. By the composing of the longitudinal and bending vibration modes, elliptical trajectory vibrations can be generated on the end tips of the horns, which have the same rotation directions and can driving the rotor together by frictional force. After the introducing of the working principle, modal analysis is developed to tune the resonant frequencies of the longitudinal and bending vibration modes to be close with each other. At last, transient analysis is developed to gain the vibration characteristics of the motor, and the gained elliptical trajectory motions of particles on the driving parts verify the feasibility of the proposed design.

In order to build a motion system with high resolution, fast response, and long travel range in a probe station, a linear ultrasonic motor was investigated as an alternative to the electromagnetic counterpart in a servo system. This work focused on a longitudinal composite-mode linear ultrasonic motor for the motion servo system in a probe station. The motor was designed based on the required specifications. A finite element model was built to analyze the dynamic response of the stator. The influence of the structural parameters on the dynamic performances, i.e., sensitivity parameters, was calculated to analyze the stability of the structure. Based on these analytical works, a prototype of the stator was developed and mode testing was conducted. The experimental results showed that the proposed design was able to achieve respectable performance: Despite the dual-mode design, the frequency difference between the two working modes was minimized to 608 Hz; and the prototype could operate stably under 55.4 kHz, providing a 0.5 N load with 980 mm/s speed.
