In this paper, a uniform speed controller for an ultrasonic rotary motor is developed using the phase-difference method. The phase difference method uses traveling waves to drive the ultrasonic motor. The traveling waves are obtained by adding two standing waves that have a different phase to each other. A compact phase-difference driver system is designed and integrated by combining VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) and phase shifter. Theoretically the relationship between the phase difference in time and the rotational speed of the ultrasonic motor is sine function, which is verified by experiments. Then a series of experiments under various loading conditions are conducted to characterize the motor's performance that is the relationship between the speed and torque. Proportional-integral control is adopted for the uniform speed control. The proportional control unit calculates the compensating phase-difference using the rotating speed which is measured by an encoder and fed back. Integral control is used to eliminate steady-state errors. Differential control for reducing overshoot is not used since the response of ultrasonic motor is prompt due to its low inertia and friction-driving characteristics. The developed controller demonstrates reasonable performance overcoming disturbing torque and the changes in material properties due to continuous usage.

In this study, novel structured thin ultrasonic rotary motor has been proposed. Ultrasonic motors are based on an elliptical motion on the surface of elastic body. ATILA ver. 5.2.4 was used for optimizing stator. The motor was fabricated by using designed stator. And characteristics of the motor were compared with simulated results. When the motor was fabricated with these results, 935[rpm] speed was obtain by input voltage of 25[Vrms] at 93.5[khz].

Novel structure ultrasonic motors which have cross type stator were designed and fabricated. Driving characteristics of the motors were analyzed and measured by changing the materials of the stator. This ultrasonic motor has stator with hollowed cross bar and the stator rotate the rotor using elliptical displacement of the inside tips. This motion is generated by lateral vibration mode of cross bars. This stator was analyzed by finite element analysis depandent on stator's materials. And the cross type ultrasonic motors were made by analyzed results. The larger displacements were obtained, when the density of material was decreased. But the stress was increased when the stator's material has large density and Young's modulus. The fabricated one has high speed and torque in large stress on contact point between rotor and stator. The stress was more effected on speed and torque than the displacement.

In this paper, we propose a novel type shaft-less ring type ultrasonic motor. A traveling wave rotary type ultrasonic motor is selected as a base model. The newly designed stator has two piezoelectric ceramic rings which are bonded in sandwich shape as traveling wave generator. So, we can expect to produce higher torque. The proposed model has the rotor structure that coupled with the stator provokes the pressure, this model do not install the separate plate any spring device. We used the finite element method to verify the operation principle and to compute the vibration mode of proposed model.

In this study, ultrasonic rotary motors using a bolted langevin type ultrasonic vibrator were designed and fabricated. The stator vibrator has a longitudinal transducer section composed of two metal blocks and two piezoelectric ceramic elements (thickness-polarized) and a mode conversion metal block section called a torsion coupler. And, three kinds of motors were studied by finite element analysis and experiments. So, as material of torsion coupler which generate mode conversion of vibration copper, brass, and phosphor bronze were used. As a result, speed and torque were changed in proportion to the electrical input Voltage, but it was saturated in high voltage. And bad efficiency which was different from a expectation was measured in this motors. So, various problems should be improved for practical use. Finally, The motor which has 1 [cm] diameter was fabricated to present a possibility of miniaturization of this type motors.

The piezoelectric ceramic is attached between 'L' type guide and 'L' type stator, This motor has rotary motion which is operated by longitudinal and bending mode. The basic structure of the two kinds of type motor that called one stator motor, two stator motor is same but we suggested a few parameters for considering their stator design and characteristics. As a result, the two stator type motor is much more useful than one stator type motor for hi-direction rotation.

An ultrasonic motor is a motor which uses vibration -a type of elastic vibration- to obtain a driving force, which then drives the motor using friction. In this paper, mode conversion type - single resonance mode ultrasonic rotary motor that use langevin type ultrasonic vibrator was studied. This model was proposed for the first time by Japanese Kumada in 1985. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) of a stator and bidirectional driving characteristic of a rotor was newly obtained. The amplitude and phase of displacement and elliptical trajectory of beam was confirmed by FEA The fabricated motor was operated to clockwise and counterclockwise in 40.8 [kHz] and 44.2 [kHz] respectively. But bidirectional driving characteristics did not coincide each other.

This paper studied Rotary type ultrasonic motor which has cross type stator. The stator consists of hollowed cross type metal which has four piezoelectric ceramics on the ends of cross bars. When two harmonic voltages which have 90$^{\circ}$ phase difference given to ceramics, the elliptical motion was generated in the inside tips. Inside tips are contact with rotor and these elliptical motions are rotate the rotor The finite element analysis was used to optimize the dimension and displacement of the stator. And the analyzed results were compared with the experimental results of the motor. As results, the speed and the torque of motor was increased by increasing width of the cross bar. And the speed and torque o( motor was not influenced to length of cross bar. The speed and torque was linearly increased by increasing voltage. The maximum torque was generated when the motor fabricated length of cross bar and width of ceramics in the ratio of 1:2.
