Abstract

Ultrasonic motors possess many advantages such as high torque, low speed, compactness in size and no magnetic field generation. However, there are several technical problems to be solved. Improvement of efficiency is important from the view point of the low power drive. The purpose of this work is to achieve maximum efficient drive of ultrasonic motor. Firstly, this paper shows characteristics based on efficiency of ultrasonic motor and proposes a search method of the maximum efficiency point. Furthermore, this paper presents a speed control method of the motor by PWM control of DC source combined with drive frequency control in order to realize maximum efficient drive
