Abstract
A precise and compact tubular ultrasonic motor driven by a single-phase source is proposed and tested in this study. The motor is designed by modeling a motor stator in FEM software. The motor fabricated according to the design is tested experimentally and its working characteristics including speed and torque are measured and presented. The maximum speed and torque of the motor are 59 rpm and 0.28 mN m at 80 Vpp of applied voltage. The proposed motor possesses advantages such as a simple and compact structure with application in the fields of robotics, space, medical devices and high-resolution stages, among others. The proposed motor is a good candidate for applications where accurate control and high resolution at low speed is required.
