Development of a Linear Ultrasonic Motor with Segmented Electrodes

A novel segmented electrodes linear ultrasonic motor (USM) was developed. Using a planar vibration mode concept to achieve elliptical motion at the USM drive-tip, an attempt to decouple the components of the drive-tip trajectory was made. The proposed design allows greater control of the drive-tip t...
