Finite Element Analysis of Windmill Type Ultrasonic Motors Depend on the Shape of Ceramics

세라믹 형상에 따른 풍차형 초음파 모터의 유한요소해석

In this paper, two kinds of windmill type motors which have a disk shape and a ring shape piezoelectric ceramics were studied. And characteristics of two models were compared with each others. A windmill type ultrasonic motor is composed of a stator, a rotor, and a ball bearing. The stator is made of a piezoelectric ceramics and two metals endcaps. When the piezoelectric ceramics vibrate, displacement of torsonal vibration appear at metal endcaps. The motor with 11.0[mm] diameter was studied by finite element analysis. The voltage of 100[V] was supplied at each model. Resonance frequency of 206.875[KHz] was obtained at the disk type, but ring type was 137.562[KHz]. The maximum torsonal displacement of $1.112[{\mu}m]$ was obtained at the disk type, but ring type was $1.698[{\mu}m]$.
