Abstract
The conversion of vibration induced rotation into translational motion is effected by engaging two threaded bodies with a gap between them and vibrating one of the bodies to induce rolling contact rotation between the threads of the bodies relative to each other and generating a net translational motion of the other body along the axis of the threads of the translating body.
