Abstract
A linear ultrasonic motor which presses a rail against an ultrasonic vibrator, which is substantially elliptically vibrating and conducts relative movement, wherein a protrusion or a groove is provided such that the sectional form of the rail is concave, convex, trapezoidal or triangular. Furthermore, the above vibrator is provided with a groove or a protrusion which uniformly abuts the groove or protrusion of the rail. In the linear ultrasonic motor according to the invention, there is no deterioration of responsiveness due to a support mechanism and no unnecessary vibration, so generated noise is small.
