INTRODUCTION

 An Ultrasonic motor is a type of electric motor formed from the ultrasonic vibration of an component , the stator
being placed against another , the rotor depending on the scheme of operation.
 These motors offer high torque density at low speed , high holding torque , simple construction and have a quick
response.
 Conversion of electric energy into motion by inverse piezoelectric effect.
 These characteristics of USM makes them attractive for robotic application where small motions are required.
CONSTRUCTION OF USM

 An USM rotates a rotor by using ultrasonic waves with high frequencies more than 20,000 Hz which a human
cannot hear.
 The USM generates ultrasonic waves using piezoelectric elements.
WORKING

 The driving force of an ultrasonic motor is it’s ultrasonic vibrations.

 It comprises stator which is of a piezoceramic material with an elastic body attached to it with a rotor to generate
ultrasonic vibrations.
 A USM does not use magnets or coils.
 Thus , there is no problem of the magnetic field and interference as you see in electric motors.
 Piezoelectricity – Generates voltage in the response to mechanical stress
 Deformation in only 0.1% of the original dimension.
STRUCTURE
APPLICATIONS

 Autofocus of camera lens

 Paper handling devices and watches
 Control the disk heads of computer like floppies,hard disk ect...
 Used to inject oil into the burners.
ADVANTAGES

 Low cost
 High efficiency
 Compact size
 Energy saving
 No magnetic interference
 High torque
PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT

 Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied
mechanical stress.
 Piezoelectric material Quartz (Si02),and Barium Titanate (BaTi03),Lead zirconate and occasionally lithium
niobate.
 High sensitivity
 High resonance frequency
 High stability
 Small in size
FUTURE SCOPE

 In future , these motors may find applications in the field like automobile industry , nano positioning ,
microelectronics , micro electro mechanical system technology and customer goods.
CONCLUSION

 Hence the ultrasonic motors,which is a new step in the miniaturized electrical technology has got many
applications in small appliances because of its high torque at low density.
