A study of linear ultrasonic motor

Abstract

Ultrasonic motor is a novel actuator, which has been developing very fast since its appearance in 1970s. Many studies have been done, in both theoretic and practical fields. With design experience, review of linear ultrasonic motor drive mechanism and classification methods is outlined. The basic design means and general analysis ways are sum up. ANSYS FEM is a kind of analysis software. It affords much help for design and analysis of ultrasonic motor. The entire design process of LUSM and characteristic testing will be show up. For further study, a typical modeling method has been given.
