Abstract

PURPOSE:To lengthen the life of an ultrasonic motor by making a first sliding member provided on the vibration piece side out of the paper of alumina short fibers, and making a second sliding member provided on the rotor side out of an amorphous carbonic film. CONSTITUTION:The strength of a sliding member 11 itself is maintained by alumina short fibers, and when a lustrous lubrication boundary layer is formed at the contact face, after initial abrasion, and is exposed to the contact face, the abrasion quantity of the sliding member 11 on the sliding piece 8 side is regulated by the abrasion quantity of ceramic fine powder, so abrasion resistance improves. An amorphous carbonic film being the sliding member 12 on the rotor 9 side is the one that an organic material in single composition is carbonized, so it is very strong and the construction is dense. Moreover, since it has some flexibility, it becomes easy to be transformed along the shape of the sliding piece 8 and receive torque. Furthermore, since it is carbon, the sliding properties are favorable and it is excellent in abrasion resistance.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, none of the conventional ultrasonic motors uses a perfect sliding member 3, and after a certain period of time, abrasion powder is generated. As a means to prevent this, tough fibers are added to improve wear resistance, and fine powders are added to improve sliding properties. However, the form of wear that occurs in ultrasonic motors is complex, and a sliding member that is effective with simple sliding friction is useless. Therefore, if strong fibers are included, the strength will improve, but it will never become resistant to wear.Similarly, if a sliding member is made of ceramics, the strength will increase so much that it will cause the opposing member to reverse. I had worn it out.

In addition, the effects of various types of sliding members on the generation of wear particles have been proposed, but all of them inevitably generate wear particles over time, and the phenomenon that wear is accelerated by the influence of this powder is a phenomenon. It has occurred.

In addition, in the ultrasonic motor, the sliding member is composed of a first sliding member and a second sliding member, and the first sliding member provided on one side of the vibration contains ceramic short fibers. The second sliding member provided on the rotor side is made of an aluminum composite material made of carbonized organic material of a single composition, has a thickness of 300 μm or less, and has a surface roughness Ra of 0.

The reason why the weight ratio of each fine powder of molybdenum disulfide and phenolic resin is set to 18 to 22% by weight is because if it is less than 18%, the temperature will rise during operation, producing noise, and the subsequent rotation will become unstable. This is because it will stop. On the other hand, if it exceeds 22%, the strength of the alumina short fiber paper decreases, causing damage during driving (vertical and horizontal vibrations), which causes the rotation to become unstable and stop.

In addition, the reason why we limited the thickness of the alumina short fiber paper on one side of the vibration and the thickness of the carbon film on the rotor side is that if these thicknesses are thick, the vibration will be This is because the torque is attenuated, resulting in less torque transmission.

[Function] According to the ultrasonic motor of the present invention having the above configuration, generation of wear powder is extremely small. Therefore, acceleration of wear due to wear particles does not occur. Compared to the case where only resin is used as a sliding member, after initial wear, the resin contact surface on the vibrating element 8 side becomes shiny and a lubricating boundary layer is formed due to friction. Once a lubricating boundary layer is formed, wear particles stop being generated and a stable state is reached.
