Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the damage of the surface of an element to be driven at starting/stopping time or when an excess load is applied by composing a driving end member of a material having a hardness smaller than that of the surface of the element to be driven. CONSTITUTION:When high frequency voltages of prescribed phase difference are applied to piezoelectric elements 1, 2, the displacements of the upper ends of the elements 1, 2 are transmitted through a displacement combining unit 5 to a driving end member 6 without interference to move the member 6 in a circular or elliptical motion. Thus, an element 3 to be driven in contact with the member 6 is driven continuously in one direction. The member 6 is set to hardness smaller than that of the surface of the element 3 to eliminate the damage of the surface of the element 3.
