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.

The conventional ultrasonic linear motors developed so far utilize a standing wave and are of a pi-type or a hybrid transducer type structure. Traveling wave type bi-direction linear motors have not been developed yet. This paper describes design of a new bi-directional ultrasonic linear motor working by means of a traveling wave. With the finite element method we design and verify validity of the new structure. And we determine its optimal structure size of design variables material and boundary conditions for proper generation of the traveling wave.

Traveling wave generation in a ring type stator has been studied. The basic working principle to create traveling wave has been modelled by the superposition of two orthogonal standing waves. Theoretical analysis shows that the length to radius ratio affects the frequency gap between two pseudo orthogonal modes used to create traveling wave. FEM simulation is then discussed and applied to validate the analytical model. At last, a possible optimal solution is reported with FEM verification.

A new type of piexoelectric membrane traveling wave motor has been designed and forbricated. The small motor is composed by the stator which is the combination of annular/circular membrane and metal elastic base using as the common electrode at some time and the rotor which is placed on the metal elastic body. Thus the motor structure is simple and easy to fabricate. The material of a piezoelectric membrane is fabricated by sol-gel method or wear-down method. A piezoelectric traveling wave motor has been fabricated with the stator diameter 8mm The total thickness of the stator is 350$\mu$m. Under the alternative excitation voltage 10-12V the revolving speed of the rotor is more than 100RPM.

In this paper, we proposed a novel control method which uses the internal impedance angles as a control parameter to drive traveling wave type ultrasonic motor. An impedance characteristic of the ultrasonic motor is obtained by analysis of the equivalent circuits including the external inductor used to generate the coupled resonance. The phase angle of internal impedance to achieve optimal control performance is derived. For the tracking of impedance angle, an information of phase difference is obtained from the applied voltage and current. The high speed phase difference detector is designed to monitor the phases of ultrasonic motor. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is clarified by experiments.

This paper describes design and fabrication of a new bi-directional ultrasonic linear motor working by means of a traveling wave. With the finite element method, we design and verify validity of the new structure, and determine its optimal structure, material, size, and boundary conditions for proper generation of the traveling wave. Based on the results, a prototype of the motor has been fabricated and characterized, which thereby proves practical applicability of the new structure.

In this paper, the novel digital frequency/phase controller, to control the invelter fed traveling wave type ultra-sonic m motor(USM) is proposed. This controller is used to control the drive frequency, phase difference and applied voltages of e each phase of the motor. Proposed digital controller has constructed with digital logic only, no more use digitallongleftarrowanalog h hybrid method of the conventional controller, in order to generate drive frequency and phase difference. Therefore, the c control system has become to velY simple structure. T\rvo types of controllers are designed, one is to control drive f frequency and phase difference, another has added voltage control function of each phase. Two full digital voltage/phase c controllers are implemented by using custom LSI and EPLD, the control pelformance and the simplicity ofthe proposed c controller is verified by expeJimental results.

To chive a traveling wave type ultrasonic motor with the series""-resonant inverter, the external inductor is i lnserted between the motor and inverter. In $\psi$is paper, we proposed a novel 3Ilalysis method to design the 3 ~xternal inductor. An equivalent model of the ultrasonic motor is expressed, and a selection method of the , ;;eries inductor is proposed from the basis of the model. When the series inductor has an optimal value, it is v velified by computer simulation results that power is efficiently transmitted to the mechanical resonant c component in the motor. The frequency and speed characteristics of the ultrasonic motor are investigated by e experiments for several external inductors. The validity of the proposed method for selecting external inductor i is clarified.clarified.

This paper describes the bending traveling-wave type ultrasonic motor which generates the traveling wave by combining two standing waves with phase difference time and space. In $+20^{\circ}C{\sim}30^{\circ}C$, the USM motor operation character has represented normal condition. But the other temperature, (that is say, when long time operating condition) USM operation characteristic has abnormal condition, that is driving frequency, drive current and r.p.m is down. The recent USM has controller without temperature compensation. This study aimed at fuzzy controller which must follow the frequency at operation temperature and then r.p.m and torque increase.

This paper describes the bending traveling-wave type ultrasonic motor which generates the traveling wave by combining two standing waves with phase difference time and space. In $+20^{\circ}C$~$30^{\circ}C$, the USM motor operation character has represented normal condition.
