Abstract

A smooth impact drive mechanism utilizing an electromechanical conversion element, in which a preheating voltage to preheat the electromechanical conversion element is impressed thereto before the impression of a drive voltage to the electromechanical conversion element, in order to realize stable drive characteristics by reducing fluctuation in the speed of the moving unit. In addition, drive parameters are changed in accordance with the temperature of the electromechanical conversion element. Furthermore, drive parameters are changed in accordance with the moving speed of the moving unit.
