ABSTRACT
Ultrasonic motors of various drive principles have been developed, but it is difficult to downsized most of them. Hence, an ultrasonic motor which combines a PZT with a metallic plate, which can be downsized easily, is developed by the authors. So far, the studies are focused on the ultrasonic motor with a flat-type metallic plate. In this study, it is tested an ultrasonic motor incorporating a curve-shaped metallic plate, in order to improve performance.
