Abstract

This is an ultrasonic motor having a drive unit of low elastic modulus disposed between an ultrasonic vibrator and a mover so as to prevent noise or unnecessary vibration originating from friction on a sliding surface. Moreover, providing a drive unit of plastic and of a particular thermal conductivity enables highly efficient and stabilized motion for long hours and stable driving characteristics.
