    Abstract: A vibration motor includes a vibrator, a friction member, and a pressurizing unit. The vibrator includes projecting portions and is vibrated by application of a driving voltage. The projecting portions are arranged in vicinities of nodes of the vibration, respectively. The friction member has a sliding surface formed of a curved surface with which the projecting portions come into contact. The pressurizing unit pressurizes the vibrator against the friction member with a pressurizing force. When the vibrator is vibrated, a driving force is generated in a tangential direction of the sliding surface by the vibration to drive the friction member relative to the vibrator, and each of the projecting portions generates an elliptic motion by the vibration. The elliptic motion is generated with an inclination at a predetermined angle with respect to the curved surface of the sliding surface.

    Abstract: A pre-loaded piezoelectric stack actuator comprising a stack of piezoelectric material. Caps are coupled at opposed ends of the stack. Each of the caps includes projecting fingers. Insulating plates are stacked between the ends of the stack and the caps. A pair of pre-loaded spring plates are coupled to the stack. The spring plates define slots. The fingers on the caps extend through respective ones of the slots at respective ends of the spring plates for coupling the spring plates to the stack. A method of pre-loading the piezoelectric stack actuator includes the step of mounting the stack, the caps, the insulating plates, and the spring plates in a pre-load tool that applies a pre-load tensile stretching force to the spring plates. The pre-load tensile force is subsequently released and the actuator is removed from the tool.

    Abstract: A vibrating type actuator which hardly causes a failure and can suppress occurrence of abnormal noise while not preventing vibration from being excited in a vibrator. The vibrating type actuator comprises a vibrator in which vibration is excited, and a contact body which is in contact with the vibrator, wherein the vibrator and the contact body move relatively to each other. The vibrating type actuator comprises a holding member which holds the vibrator, a pressurizing member which pressurizes the vibrator against the contact body, a support member which movably supports the holding member in a pressurizing direction, in which the pressurizing member performs pressurization, and an vibration damping member which is in contact with the holding member at a plurality of portions while sandwiching the holding member in a direction orthogonal to the pressurizing direction.

    Abstract: A vibration actuator that is capable of bringing a vibration body into pressure contact with a driven body stably during long time while reducing obstruction of excitation of vibration in the vibration body by the pressure force. The driven body is in contact with the vibration body by pressure force given by a pressing member. A vibration isolation member is arranged between the vibration body and the pressing member. The vibration body and the driven body move relatively by vibrations in first and second vibration modes that are excited in the vibration body by applying alternating voltage to a piezoelectric device on the vibration body. Face pressure that acts to the piezoelectric device by the pressure force from the pressing member in first and second areas that respectively include nodal lines in the first and second vibration modes and their vicinities is higher than that in the other area.
