- the phase of the AC voltage applied from the drive circuit 30 to each piezoelectric element portion is not limited to the force of 90 degrees shifted by 90 degrees, but may be changed. Further, the voltage value of the AC voltage to be applied may be changed.
- the elliptical vibration generated in the stators 3 and 4 can be controlled by variously controlling the AC voltage.
- the contact between the stators 3 and 4 and the corresponding rotors A and B was corners, but this is not limited to this configuration. As long as the elliptical motion can be transmitted, the contact may be made on a flat surface, on a curved surface, or not on a ring.
- flexural vibration in the X-axis direction, flexural vibration in the Y-axis direction, and vertical vibration in the Z-axis direction are generated in separate piezoelectric element parts, and composite vibration is generated by combining the vibrations.
- the force that has been used It is also possible to polarize one piezoelectric element in multiple and control the voltage applied to each polarization electrode individually. That is, a composite vibration may be generated by a single piezoelectric element portion by applying a voltage obtained by synthesizing alternating voltages having different phases and amplitudes to each polarization electrode.
- the elliptical motion is generated at the contact portion between the stator and the rotor.
- the circular motion may be generated by controlling the amplitude in each axial direction.
