Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a satisfactory characteristic in which a work is easy by setting the lengthwise direction of a vibrator from a Y axis in a clockwise direction in a prescribed range, and simultaneously, to obtain a suitable characteristic having little spurious by setting the ratio of a width to a thickness in the prescribed range. CONSTITUTION:A thickness-share vibrator main body 1 is composed of an LiTaO3 single crystal and formed in a strip shape. For the thickness-share vibrator when a length, a width and a thickness are made into L, W and T, respectively, the setting is executed so as to satisfy the relations of a ratio L/T>=10 between the length and thickness and a ratio W/T=1.5-2.0 between the width and thickness. The thickness- share vibrator is set on a flat surface whose both main surfaces are extended in a direction right-angled to an X axis, and consequently, the vibrator is made into an X plate. A lengthwise direction A of the thickness-share vibrator is set in the range in which an angle theta measured from the Y axis in the clockwise direction is 56.5 deg.-57.5 deg.. Thus, the lengthwise direction of the oscillator is made to approximately coincide with a cleavage plane, and a crack at the time of a work, etc., can be decreased. The satisfactory thickness-share vibrator is obtained in which an electric mechanical coupling coefficient is large and even the spurious is small.
