The purpose of the present paper is to establish a method of design for a traveling wave type ultrasonic motor. This method is based on two models for the ultrasonic motor. A two-dimensional elastic contact model is used for estimating the friction drive between the rotor and vibrator of the motor. Moreover, an electrical equivalent circuit is used to estimate the interaction between the electrical and mechanical parts of the vibrator. The proposed method is applied to the design of a prototype motor. To determine applicability of the method, the load characteristics of the prototype motor are measured. The measured characteristics agree with the required ones which are specified in advance. As a result, the validity of the proposed method is experimentally confirmed. >
