Abstract
An ultrasonic wave motor includes an elastic member, a movable member, a first electrical/mechanical energy converting member for applying to the elastic member a vibration in a moving direction of the movable member, a second electrical/mechanical energy converting member interposed between the elastic member and the movable member for applying to the movable member a vibration in a floating direction of the movable member, and a driving source for applying a rectangular wave excitation signal to the second electrical/mechanical energy converting member. With this construction, slippage between the movable member and the second electrical/mechanical energy converting member can be eliminated to thereby achieve efficient transmission of energy.
