A study on the metal tube type ultrasonic motor (MTTUSM)

The main motivation of this study hopes to understand the characteristic of the metal tube type ultrasonic motor (MTTUSM) through simple components, different driving or operation ways, its characteristic includes the rotational speed, driving phase angle and the relation of operation time and temperature rise. And hopes it can be applied to drive the small-scale optics lens mould or precision fixed position system. According to the experimental results, the maximum rotational speed is 2,075rpm under conditions of 140V
