Abstract

A vibration wave driven motor includes a vibration member which vibrates in response to an applied electrical signal, a rail-shaped stator having a recess formed thereon, a movable base integral with an elastic element, a pair of rollers, one of which engages the recess on the stator, and a pressing spring forcing the vibration member, the stator, and one of the rollers into contact.
