The present invention relates to a linear motor which draws its operating power
from ultrasonic vibration above the frequency of 20 kHz which is generated by piezoelectric
ceramic. More particularly, the invention relates to a linear piezoelectric ultrasonic
motor which linearly operates a slider due to a frictional force generated by applying
sinusoidal electric field with a 90 degree phase difference to a pair of piezoelectric
ceramic. This causes an elliptical mechanical vibration on a shaking beam which
is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic.
