Mechanical amplification mechanism combined with piezoelectric elements
TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanical amplification structure has a pair of L-shaped lever arms mounted for rotational motion about individually associated pivot points on a frame, and an elastic support is coupled between the swinging ends of the arms to experience controlled mechanical excursions responsive to the electrical signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piezoelectric ultrasonic motor using longitudinal-torsional composite resonance vibration
TL;DR: It is found that the resonant frequencies for longitudinal mode and torsional mode could coincide with each other in the ultrasonic motor, according to finite element method analysis and experimental measurement.

TL;DR: An ultrasonic motor has a longitudinal-torsional composite transducer, a stator constituted by an ultrasonic vibrator sandwiching the transducers, and a rotor urged against the stator as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Mechanical amplification mechanism for electromechanical transducer
Tadao Uchikawa,Kunio Kitagawa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an elongated piezoelectric transducer element extends in the direction of its expansion between the base plate and a lever arm and an actuating element may be either a printing pin of a dot-matrix or the moving contact of a relay.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Piezoelectric ultrasonic motor using longitudinal-torsional composite vibration of a cylindrical resonator
TL;DR: In this article, a piezoelectric ultrasonic motor, which uses longitudinal and torsional composite vibration of a cylindrical resonator, was investigated, and it was found that the resonant frequencies for longitudinal mode and Torsional mode could coincide with each other.
