A piezoelectric actuator, especially for an ultrasonic motor, includes an acoustic oscillation resonator, wherein the acoustic oscillation resonator is substantially formed as a rectangular piezoelectric plate with two main surfaces, two side surfaces and two end faces and has a multilayer structure in its interior which represents a layer of excitation electrodes taking turns with the layers of the common electrodes and the layers of polarized ceramic provided therebetween, with the polarization vector extending perpendicularly with respect to the surface of the electrodes, wherein all excitation electrodes are divided into two groups not connected to each other, which are disposed symmetrically with respect to the symmetry surface of the aforementioned plate, wherein this symmetry surface extends perpendicularly with respect to the main and side surfaces of the plate, namely through the center thereof.

Piezoelectric actuator for an ultrasonic motor

The invention relates to an ultrasonic linear drive unit comprising a driving element as an ultrasonic oscillator with two generators for ultrasonic vibrations and a driven element that forms a frictional contact with the driving element, and an electrical excitation source for the driving element. According to the invention, the ultrasonic oscillator is designed as a hollow thin-walled piezoelectric cylinder, the height H of which is identical to or smaller than the mean diameter D thereof. The generators for ultrasonic vibrations are symmetrically disposed on both sides relative to the sectional plane S that extends through the center of the height of the ultrasonic oscillator, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L thereof. The cylinder surface of the driving element is in contact with the driven element, and the electrical excitation source is connected to the ultrasonic linear drive unit in such a way that the drive unit excites only the first or the second generator for ultrasonic vibrations.

The invention relates to a miniaturizable motor () comprising a rotor () that is driven by a hollow cylindrical piezo oscillator (). Said rotor is effectively connected to a frictional face () of the piezo oscillator while a main electrode or counter electrode () and excitation electrodes () are disposed on the surface of the hollow cylinder. The hollow cylindrical piezo oscillator is made of a monocrystalline material with a trigonal crystal system which is provided with three main electrical axes that are placed at a 120&#xb0; angle relative to each other as well as an optical axis. Said optical axis encloses a 90&#xb0; angle along with the point of intersection of the electrical axes while coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the hollow cylindrical piezo oscillator. Furthermore, the axial axis of symmetry of the respective excitation electrode intersects one of the main electrical axes while said axial axis of symmetry extends parallel to the optical axis.
