    摘要: Disclosed is a drive device 1 which is adapted to move a driven member used on a speed difference between during extending and during contracting in a course of vibration of a vibrator. The vibrator, e.g., a piezoelectric element 4, 5, is formed in a structure which has two resonance modes identical in terms of a vibration direction, and allows a ratio between resonance frequencies of the two resonance modes to become approximately 2. A drive signal to be given to the vibrator is configured to approximately conform to the two resonance modes. The drive device 1 having the above configuration makes it possible to generate pseudo-sawtooth displacement vibration multiplied by an amplitude amplification factor Q through resonance, thereby improving a movement speed, and allow a larger part of input energy to be used for mechanical vibration, thereby improving energy efficiency.

    摘要: A drive unit in accordance with the present invention is provided with a magnetic field generating member generating a magnetic field, a magnetic field detecting device constituted by first, second and third magnetic field detecting elements detecting the magnetic field, and a piezoelectric actuator moving the magnetic field generating member. When executing a relative positioning between the magnetic field generating member and the magnetic field detecting device on the basis of a detection result by the magnetic field detecting device, a first positioning is executed on the basis of the detection result of the first and second magnetic field detecting elements in a predetermined region, and a second positioning is executed on the basis of the detection result of the third magnetic field detecting element at a predetermined point apart from the predetermined region, within a movable range in which the magnetic field generating member moves. In accordance with the structure, it is possible to position the movable body at a high precision, even in the case that a plurality of position detecting points of the movable body of the drive unit exist at a wide interval.

    摘要: An actuator using a piezoelectric element. The actuator includes: the piezoelectric element, which is capacitive; an inductor; and a resistor. The piezoelectric element, the inductor and the resistor are serially arranged so as to define a serial circuit. When a suitable voltage is supplied to the serial circuit, a saw-tooth waveform voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element so that the piezoelectric element extends at a speed and compresses at a different speed repeatedly.
